I just completed an environment install on a new production server. Environment 9.0.1.5 running on Windows Server 2008 and IBM WebSphere 7.0 with fix pack 7.

I've deployed the ear files to WebSphere and restarted the server. I am unable to complete any of the Lawson Security smoke tests.

My browser does not respond to any requests on port 80. I followed the instructions of KB article 557092, but my SSO logs do not report any errors (just normal start-up and shut-down entries).

This is actually my fourth environment install so I am familiar with the process. My other three environments are running fine. However, this is my first install on a 2008 box with WebSphere 7.0. I suspect a configuration setting in WebSphere but everything I see looks fine and matches what I have in my other three systems.

Can anyone provide some troubleshooting ideas?

Have you applied ALL environment patches for 9015?

Yes, I have. There was actually only one patch, I guess since this environment version is fairly new (released in October 2009). I suspect something in my SSO config or Websphere, but can't seem to find anything. I'm reviewing my logs to see if something there provides a clue.

Looking at my LASE log, I see the following errors:

The only thing different I did with this install was that I specified a domain account as the owner of the LDAP instead of using a local account on the server as the owner of the LDAP. Would that account for the errors in LASE.log and explain why SSO is not working?

Have you look at the Websphere logs for errors?=

Checking the logs for my application servers (i have two app servers in a cluster), both indicate "Open For Business" with no errors at all. If I look at the log for HTTP server, there are entries for my failed SSO smoke tests as follows:

[Wed Feb 10 17:30:55 2010] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] File does not exist: F:/LAWAPPS/web/servlet
[Wed Feb 10 17:39:33 2010] [error] [client xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx] File does not exist: F:/LAWAPPS/web/sso

I blanked out the IP address above for security reasons. If I go to the folder specified by the errors, I see that it is empty and contains no files. But shouldn't the SSO calls be routed to the GENDIR folder anyway?

Found the problem. I had a typo in my http.conf file. Once I corrected the error, everything worked correctly. Thanks anyways, folks! On to the next install!
