Greetings,
I've inherited a crashed BES 5.0 server. I was able to resurrect the BESMgmt db on a win2008 server running SQL 2005 full. All the phones connect fine, the mail passes etc... but the webconsole will not come up... just starts to load and then "page can't be displayed". IIS is disabled, I checked with Netstat -ab that 443 is not listening or connected. I checked the jboss server boot log states "Failed to apply service binding override" I see 443 is to be used but it doesn't happen. So I changes the https prot in high availability to 3443 restarted the admin services... no change still can't be displayed so I re booted the server and verified the port stayed at 3443 but still no display of the page. So I read serveral references to sp2 taking it to 5.0.2 solved administrator service issues so I applied it; successfully. All still works except the webconsole. So being a life long win admin I saw a patch for the patch, mr2 and ran it: successfully, but still no webconsole. Furthermore the setup logs for the install of mr2 state, "Component [BlackBerry Administration] is not installing. Skipping validation" even though it is enabled and set to load further up the log. I rechecked with netstat and no reference to port 3443 could be found. What is misconfigured that prevents BAS launching and binding to 4334 or any port?
Many thaks in advance.
