MobileFirst Console - Wlapp Upload Fails After 60 seconds

Question

I have already installed & configured following items :

• Installed IBM WebSphere Application Server Liberty Core (Version 8.5.5)
• Installed IBM MobileFirst Platform Server (Verison 7.1)

While uploading wlapp file to mobilefirst console, If it takes longer than 60 seconds, then it throws an error :

Connection failure. Check server log for details.

Here is my server.xml :

In messages.log of server, I am getting this error :

com.ibm.worklight.management.ui.servlet.ServiceProxy
Throwable Connection closed: Read failed. Possible end of stream encountered. while redirecting request to http://localhost:9080/wladmin/management-apis/1.0/runtimes/HelloWorld/applications?async=true

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Fixes published later than 2016-03-23 should fix the problem. http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg1PI59605

Answer 2

Your Liberty Profile version is 8.5.5.0. This version is not supported. Minimal version is 8.5.5.3 (see http://www-969.ibm.com/software/reports/compatibility/clarity-reports/report/html/prereqsForProduct?deliverableId=46183B706BEA11E48038141DE954FC88, tab Supported Software). It can explain this kind of problem because this Liberty version has defects concerning jndi management, REST connection..
