Shared Services URL throws 404 Error

Question

Hi,
I've newly installed and configured EPM on a test server. I seem to be able to start the Hyperion Foundation Services (port 28080 is listening), but when accessing the Shared Services URL, I get a 404 error.
One note: I installed the product at G:\Oracle\Middleware\..., but when starting the Foundation Services, a "product" folder is created under G:\ root folder. It contains the same folder structure as G:\Oracle\Middleware\EPMSystem11R1\products\ but there is no content in the folders. I did not make any conscious update to any config file, so I have no clue why Foundation Services is behaving this way. The diagnostic log seems to point to this as the cause of deployment failure, because it's looking for ear files which don't exist in G:\products.
I've restarted the machine, re-ran the configurator many times, re-installed the EPM product suite, double checked environment variables and registry keys, yet this issue still persists. Can someone give me some help on this? Many thanks!!!
The EPM version is 11.1.2.2 and we are using SQL Server 2008R2.

Answer 1

I am able to start the Weblogic Administration Console.
In Deployment, I can find the SharedServices listed. When clicking on it, it throws an error about no ear found in path.
In Lock & Edit mode, when Updating the SharedServices deployment, I can see that the Path is indeed pointing to the wrong G:\Products\... folder.
I thought I could update it to point to the right one, but I get an error upon saving: [Deployer:149082]You cannot distribute application <SHAREDSERVICES> without version...
So frustrated :(
