Abstract:  Errors not being written to log file when deploying a war file

Description/symptom of problem:  While attempting to install a WAR file through the Thin Admin the installation failed.  The following two errors were posted on the Thin Admin page:
APPW0005E Commands called during application installation failed.  Refer to the logs for more information.
APPW0004E Application install or modify bindings action for the chosen application failed.

However, there were no errors or messages written to the default_server_stdout.txt or default_server_stderr.txt files.

Directions to apply fix:  
1) Create temporary "fix" directory to store the jar file:
 				AIX: /tmp/WebSphere/fix
   Solaris/Linux: /tmp/WebSphere/fix
 		  Windows: c:\temp\WebSphere\fix

2) Copy jar file to the directory

3) Shutdown WebSphere

4)Create a <WASHOME>/Fix directory if one does not already exist

5) Run the jar file with the following command answering questions/prompts as they appear:
   java -jar <jarfile name>

6) Restart WebSphere

7) The temp directory may be removed but the jar file should be saved.  Do not remove
	any files created and stored in the <WASHOME>/Fix directory.
   These files are required if a fix is to be removed.


Directions to remove fix:  
NOTE:  FIXES MUST BE REMOVED IN THE ORDER THEY WERE APPLIED.  DO NOT REMOVE A FIX UNLESS
 		ALL FIXES APPLIED AFTER IT HAVE FIRST BEEN REMOVED.  YOU MAY REAPPLY ANY REMOVED FIX.

Example:  If your system has fix1, fix2, and fix3 applied in that order and fix2 is to be
			 removed, fix3 must be removed first, fix2 removed, and fix3 re-applied.


1) Change directory to the fix location (<WASHOME>/Fix).

2) Shutdown WebSphere

3) Run the backup jar file with the following command:
	java -jar <backup_fix#>

4) Restart WebSphere


Directions to re-apply fix:  
Follow the instructions for applying a fix.

If the backup files still exist (from the previous fix application), you will be prompted to overwrite.

Answer "yes" at the overwrite prompts.
