Webconsole does not start

[karypid]

Hello,

I  am trying to access the webconsole. After running "features:install webconsole" I try to access the console URL but there is no server listening there. All I get in the log is:

16:38:55,463 | INFO  | pool-2-thread-2  | AdminPlugin                      | raf.webconsole.admin.AdminPlugin   61 | Admin plugin activated

16:38:55,463 | INFO  | pool-2-thread-3  | GogoPlugin                       | karaf.webconsole.gogo.GogoPlugin   98 | Gogo plugin activated

16:38:55,463 | INFO  | pool-2-thread-1  | FeaturesPlugin                   | bconsole.features.FeaturesPlugin   79 | Features plugin activated

I am using apache-servicemix-4.2.0-fuse-01-00 and it's in its "out-of-the-box" configuraiton. No changes made (other than "features:install webconsole").

L.S.,

From those log statements, at least we can expect that the bundles have been installed correctly.  What happens if you try connecting to http://localhost:8181/system/console ?  Is there no connection at all or are you stuck at e.g. the login dialog?

Regards,

Gert

The connection fails immediately. A netstat reveals there's nothing listening at port 8181:

D:\>netstat -nap tcp | findstr "LISTENING"

TCP    0.0.0.0:135            0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

TCP    0.0.0.0:445            0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

TCP    0.0.0.0:1040           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

TCP    0.0.0.0:1099           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

TCP    0.0.0.0:1378           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

TCP    0.0.0.0:1381           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

TCP    0.0.0.0:2030           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

TCP    0.0.0.0:3389           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

TCP    0.0.0.0:8101           0.0.0.0:0              LISTENING

However, at the karaf promt I see the console installed:

karaf@root> features:list | grep console

[[installed  ] webconsole                           karaf-1.4.0-fuse-01-00

I have not modified anything out of the box. Specifically:

D:\apache-servicemix-4.2.0-fuse-01-00\etc>type system.properties

I have resolved the issue by re-downloading / re-unzipping the ESB. The console works now.

I've no idea what I had done to  cause this behavior, but apparently I must've inadvertently changed something.
