Standalone Report Server not starting

MarcLafOct 16 2025

I'm setting up a test server for 12c. Oracle 12c is installed and forms is running. The problem lies with the report server, it is not starting.

I did the following commands:

1. Logon to wlst

2. execute createReportsToolsInstance(instanceName='reptools1',machine='AdminServerMachine')

3. execute createReportsServerInstance(instanceName='rep_server1',machine='AdminServerMachine')

4. in dos prompt, run startComponent rep_server1

There were no errors in any of the executed commands.

In the directory <domain_home>/servers/rep_server1/logs there are these files:

rep_server1.out

rep_server1_stop.out

rwEng-0_diagnostic.log

rwserver_diagnostic.log

zrclient_diagnostic.log

There is nothing in any of the files except rep_server1.out.

rep_server1.out

I DID NOT HAVE any jsp errors.

I've been scratching my head over this for the past 2 days.

Any ideas?
