Error in deploying a WebDynpro application

Question

Hi All,
I created a WebDynpro application and was unable to deploy it from NWDS. I had made all possible configurations like
1. setting the host name and IP address in the hosts file
2. Stating the server name instead of local host in the J2EE preferences of NWDS
But, still was unable to deploy it from NWDS. As I went through some of the workaround solutions stated on sdn I followed them and tried deploying via sdm and that deployment worked.
Later, I got the port 500018 opened so that I would be able to deploy from remote system using NWDS.
But, now when I try deployment I just realise that the WebDynpro Runtime in Visual Admin is inactive and am not in a position to even deploy the application via sdm.
The error thrown is stated below:
===========================================================================
Deployment started Fri Jun 24 15:28:23 IST 2005
===========================================================================
Starting Deployment of FirstWebDynPro
Aborted: development component 'FirstWebDynPro'/'local'/'LOKAL'/'0.2005.06.10.14.23.22':
Caught exception during application deployment from SAP J2EE Engine's deploy service:
java.rmi.RemoteException: Error occurred while deploying ear file ./temp/deploy/work/deploying/FirstWebDynPro.ear. Reason: None of the available containers recognized the components of application local/FirstWebDynPro; it is not possible to make deploy.
(message ID: com.sap.sdm.serverext.servertype.inqmy.extern.EngineApplOnlineDeployerImpl.performAction(DeploymentActionTypes).REMEXC)
Deployment of FirstWebDynPro finished with Error (Duration 2703 ms)
Can someone please help me and let me know as to how I could get the WebDynpro back to active status.
Thanks for all your help in advance,
Best regards,

Hi Divya,
You could try with the Console Administrator. Open a command prompt and execute:
telnet localhost 50008
[login]
> jump 0
> startservice webdynpro
Now you can check the status like this:
> lss | grep webdynpro
If it is still stopped check /usr/sap/<SID>/<instance>/j2ee/cluster/server<N>/log/defaultTrace.trc and /usr/sap/<SID>/<instance>/j2ee/cluster/server<N>/log/system/server.log for errors.
HTH,
Vladimir
