Worklight Development server not starting up

Question

I am currently working with IBM Worklight and came up with this trouble. Everything worked perfectly and suddenly I was updating my Android ADT and then out of nowhere, my worklight server got turned off and It doesn't start up. I searched through the site and could not come up with questions addressing the exact problem.

When I click on the start server, I get the following log info.

Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 10777
Launching worklight (WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.0/wlp-1.0.3.20130524-0951) on Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM, version 1.7.0_51-b13 (en_US)
[AUDIT   ] CWWKE0001I: The server worklight has been launched.
[AUDIT   ] CWWKG0010I: The server worklight is shutting down because of a previous initialization error.
[AUDIT   ] CWWKE0036I: The server worklight stopped after 8.827 seconds.

And a popup box which says

Server Worklight Development Server failed to start.

Here is what my screen looks like..

Kindly help me guys

Thanks

Answer 1

1. From the Servers view, delete "Worklight Development Server"
2. Restart Eclipse
3. The development server should be automatically re-generated

See if starting it now works.

Per the comments:

Without having the original project to recreate the (new) migration issue, my only solution is to create a new project and copy the web resources to it.

Answer 2

I got similar errors that the upgrade from 6.1.0.0 to 6.1.0.1 failed after updating from eclipse. I deleted the project, recreated it, copied the common folder into it, recreated the environments (android and iphone). Then I was getting errors on both the iphone and andriod build about wlBuildResources/.../obscureArgs.txt not found. I deleted wlBuildResources and started eclipse with -clean. That seems to have at least gotten the project to build. Idan if you want to try this project upgrade/migration you can get it from: https://github.com/attdevsupport/ATT_APIPlatform_Worklight/tree/master/ATT_WL_InAppMessaging

I had a similar issue.

Under your root folder of the worklight project there would be a hidden file under .settings/org.eclipse.core.resources.prefs

Open the same with TextEdit or NotePad. Delete the line wl_version=6.1.0.0....... and save the file. Now try to open the project again it would get recreated with the latest version number.
