Dear experts,
I am working on a fresh installation of Oracle WebCenter Content (WCC) running on a Linux Virtual Machine, and I’m unable to access the Content Server UI (`/cs`).
Below are the details.
---
Environment:
* OS: Linux (VM)
* Oracle WebCenter Content: 14.1.2.0.0
* WebLogic Server: 14.1.2.0.0
* Oracle Fusion Middleware Infrastructure: 14.1.2.0.0
* Java: JDK 17
* Domain: base_domain
---
Installation & Configuration Summary:
1. Installed JDK 17
2. Installed WebLogic Server 14.1.2 (no domain initially)
3. Installed Fusion Middleware Infrastructure
4. Installed WebCenter Content
5. Created schemas using RCU
6. Configured domain using Configuration Wizard
7. Started AdminServer successfully
8. Started NodeManager
9. Started UCM managed server (`UCM_server1`) via `startManagedWebLogic.sh`
---
Issue:
* AdminServer starts and reaches **RUNNING**
* `UCM_server1` starts, but **Content Server UI (`/cs`) is not accessible**
* Accessing `/cs` results in **404**
* ADF UI also does not load
---
Key Log Errors:
From `UCM_server1.log`:
```
DeploymentAssertionError:
Unexpected transition: current state for application cs is STATE_NEW
attempt to transition to STATE_ADMIN / STATE_ACTIVE
```
```
Could not start server of type 'server' at default relative web root URL 'cs'
```
There are also references to unresolved or initialization issues involving the **ReportPublisher** library, although the library exists on disk and appears in `weblogic.Deployer -listapps`.
---
Actions Already Tried:
* Cleared `cache/`, `tmp/`, and `stage/` directories
* Restarted AdminServer, NodeManager, and Managed Server
* Verified Java version consistency (JDK 17)
* Verified ReportPublisher component exists
* Confirmed AdminServer is stable and accessible
---
Questions:
1. What typically causes the `cs` application to remain in **STATE_NEW**?
2. Is there a supported way to redeploy or recover the `cs` application without recreating the domain?
3. Are there known WCC 14.1.2 issues related to application library resolution or deployment order?
4. Any VM-specific considerations for WCC startup?
Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
