6.15 Cannot access OPSWAT Central Management console due to corrupted web application files

Term

Detail

Problem

Cannot access OPSWAT Central Management console

Cause

One or more web application packages were not unpacked properly during startup.

Troubleshooting

Accessing the dashboard at <server address>/console redirects to an error page.

Solution

Manually trigger the unpack process.

After installing OPSWAT Central Management, the web application packages may rarely fail to be unpacked properly, causing a situation where the service status is detected as running but the console cannot be accessed. This can happen if the startup processed was interrupted abruptly then restarted.

In that case, accessing the dashboard will redirect the browser to an error page, as in the image below.

In order to fix this problem, please manually trigger the unpack process by following the steps described below:

  2. Navigate to the web application folder:

    • On Windows system, it is located at Program Files\OPSWAT\Central\tomcat\webapps

    • On Linux system, it is located at /opt/ocm/tomcat/webapps

  3. Delete the folder console, files, gears, nac, o and scheduler.

  4. Restart OPSWAT Central Management service.
