WebSphere Application Server AEs 4.0.x starts, but fails to stop when stopserver script runs
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
The way WebSphere® Application Server AEs finds the hostname for starting the server is different from how the hostname is found for stopping the server. The startup is successful; however, it fails to stop because of a hostname conflict.
 
Solution
The startServer is successful, but the when the stopServer script runs, the following error is seen in the cmd prompt:


WSRU0055E: Failed to read configuration
WSRU0054E: Exception: CommandExecutionException: Unable to determine
server. Local host server could not be found.
Root Exception: No Root Exception
CommandExecutionException: Unable to determine server. Local host
server could not be found.
Root Exception: No Root Exception

com.ibm.websphere.install.commands.ServerConfigurationLoader.selectLocal
HostServer(ServerConfigurationLoader.java:268)

The startServer code uses the server-cfg.xml to determine the selected node. The stopServer code makes a call to the operating system (OS), then tries to find a node with that name. If the node in the server-cfg.xml is different then the name returned from the OS these exceptions are issued where the node is not found.

Verify the hostname of the machine by running the hostname command and see the results. If the hostname command shows a different name, then update the server-cfg.xml to the correct name.

Another possibility is that a OS patch was loaded causing the OS to return a fully-qualified hostname; therefore, if the shortname is in the server-cfg.xml file and this error occurs, try using the fully-qualified name instead.
