37.8 Unable to Log In to the Administration Console

If you experience problems logging in to the Administration Console, you might need to restart Tomcat. In a terminal window on the console machine, enter the following command:

/etc/init.d/novell-tomcat4 restart

If this does not solve the problem, check the /var/opt/novell/tomcat4/logs/catalina.out file. Check for the following error:

Error Starting up core services.
Application manager is Shutting down the Device Manager suite.
Shutting down Device Manager suite.

If you see this error, check the status of eDirectory with the following command:

/etc/init.d/ndsd status

If the status command returns nothing, you need to manually start eDirectory with the following command:

/etc/init.d/ndsd start

Then restart tomcat.

/etc/init.d/novell-tomcat4 restart
