cannot start node manager

Question

When I try to start node manager I am getting below error. I am getting this error on remote machine. By the way node manager is running on my local machine without any problem. Both machines have same configuration. Is there any idea?

<SEVERE> <Fatal error in node manager server>

Answer 1

You'll want to go look at the wlserver_10.3/common/nodemanager/nodemanager.properties file.

It sounds like your domain isn't set up to use a custom trust store or key store so it defaults to using the "Demo" identity.

In that properties file, verify that

ListenPort=5556

SecureListener=false

You may also want to login to your admin console and verify that all of the settings here are correct:

Environments->Machines-> <your machine name> -> Configuration-> NodeManager

You may want to use Plain instead of SSL.

If you do want to use SSL, I would recommend checking out a tutorial like the following:
