Cannot Access Management GUI

is there any other error in log?

This is what I have in the tomcat4 logs:

 

cat catalina.out

can you try this workaround and then restart tomcat4 and httpd again?

 

 

sol7361: The BIG-IP system can create an excessive number of jar_cache files, filling up the /var directory

 

http://support.f5.com/kb/en-us/solutions/public/7000/300/sol7361.html

/var is looking better now (down to 84% utilization), but still getting the same error.

 

 

From /var/log/httpd/ssl_access_log:

what about catalina.out?

i am still thinking the issue relates to available disk space of /var. not sure if it is possible to make more room.

Is there a min requirement? Any other suggestions on what's causing the redirect? The file mentioned in the error does not exist, and I cannot find that it ever did.

 

 

There is not a lot to free up in /var. Only 47MB total -

 

 

/dev/hda8 47900 40648 4779 90% /var

 

i do not have 1000 platform and bigip 9.2.2. anyway, this is 2400 platform running 9.4.8.

additionally, i do not think redirect.jsp is a real filename.

Hi Nitass - to update - I haven't been able to get /var down below 82% to confirm if that is my issue. I have less space allocated for /var/tmpfs
