Error 503 Service unavailable (solved)

I successfully deployed BO with Weblogic8.1. I can see the page: http://myhost:7001/wijsp using browser.

Does anyone has come across this please throw some suggetions.

P.S: I checked previous posts and followed all their suggestions which maked sense in my case.

I’ve never used WebLogic, but 503 is typically a timeout issue, so it sounds like your configuration is wrong or you are missing a plugin:

Hi MikeD, Thanks for the link you provided.

I guess my config is fine. This is what I did:

Using wdeploy I created buildwar. “Build Successful”
Copied orb.jar file, 3 XML files into endorsed folder and creates CLASSPATH according to documentation.

Using weblogic console deployed the “wijsp.war” file. “Deployed successfully”

Able to open: http://myhost:7001/wijp
When I clicked LOGIN:
Error 503–Service Unvailable.

I am using Windows2003 and there is no IIS installed in the system.

 Can anyone let me know where I did wrong. Thanks alot

As I mentioned, I have no WebLogic input, but due to the lack of forum response I will just keep dropping some comments.
Please don’t feel obliged to reply if it’s things/steps that you have already covered.

Basically, the call to the jsp login script is timing out - can you see any BO apps/executables running on the server.
Does this setup use the admin tool - if so does it display everything being enabled - can you set the logs on.
PRE_CLASSPATH variable for BO & WebLogic7 apply to 8?
If WebLogic has a single server instance for web and app roles - only define/create app server configurations.
If multi - create/define app server 1st.
Is it not security related - do these instances userid have the necessary rights to start the system and run apps?

This setup uses only infoview. Using weblogic as standalone mode. Environment variables are set correctely. Not related to security as I grant permissions in “Weblogic.policy” as per the documentation.

Can anyone who installed BO651 on weblogic please throw some suggestion and docs if possible. I'm really stuck and I am not able to figure out the problem since 2 weeks. This is driving me crazy.

Thanks alot,
Taurean

Hooray!!! My problem is fixed after 2 week battle. I will include detail documentation ASAP for the people who might need it. Time to payback.
Thanks

Hi Taurean,

I installed BO 6.5 on Weblogic 8.1 on windows and getting similar error when try to log into infoview. When I click on the infoview login buttton under the path http://hostserver:7001/wijsp, I am getting the error “Error 503–Service Unavailable
From RFC 2068 Hypertext Transfer Protocol – HTTP/1.1:
10.5.4 503 Service Unavailable”
.

As you mentioned in this thread that your issue is resolved,can you please share your solution with us. Thanks in advance.

Still i am having the issue, I have verified that the classpath is fine. All the services are running. Any inputs?

I am sorry to forget posting. Here is the list you need to check if you want to install in weblogic:

Set the following Environment variables:
i) JAVA_HOME = C:\bea\jdk142_08\bin;C:\bea\jrockit81sp5_142_08\bin;C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 6\bin\jre
ii) ANT_HOME = C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 6\bin\ant\bin
iii) CLASSPATH = C:\bea\weblogic81\server\lib;C:\bea\weblogic81\server\lib\Weblogic.jar; C:\bea\weblogic81\bo_orb; C:\bea\weblogic81\bo_orb\bo_orb.jar
(You might need to set some of these CLASSPATHS after building the WAR files)

Delete and create classpaths. You have 2 options with Wdeploy.

  1. Buildwar for weblogic

  2. Deploywar diretely with weblogic

    I used the 1st option, Buildwar and deploy this war file in weblogic using console. If the error comes again, recreate classpaths and restart weblogic and BO server. It took more than 3 weeks to install and succeed. Play with CLASSPATHS.
