JES 2005Q4 Administration Server Console Problem

Question

Hello, I have installed JES on Sol 10x86.
I've used /usr/sbin/mpsadmserver configure to configure the Admin Server Console.
I used the default user;admin
I used a password that I know,
I used the default port of 390.
when I type /usr/sbin/mpsconsole I put in
user id admin
password ********
http://fqdn:390
It comes back with the error message
"Cannot login because of an incorrect User ID, incorrect password or directory problem. java.io.interuptedIOException:Http Responce Time Out"
I've used /usr/sbin/mpsadmserver unconfig to remove and reinstall it and still nothing.
Thanks in advance for the help.

Answer 1

I thought the proper order of doing things are:
download sw image
unpack.
read release notes and install guide
acertain install sw/hw requirements
install required SW component, I think JDK/JRE 1.4.2 or later needed
install required OS/kernel/LDAP/JES patches
When encountering error...
read the error and/or access log file
read the install log file, usually somewhere, may be in /tmp or /var/sadm/...
turn on debugging mode of installer, if there is, someting like:
# ./installer -d
or
# ./setup -d
The above is compressed archive install, I tried to avoid pkg install as pkg method seems more problematic, I may be wrong.
If you use the compressed archive method, then at the end of the successful run of "installer", simply:
# ./startconsole
instead of running "mpsconsole"
