<WebSphere_installation>/AppServer/profiles/<Profile_Name>/logs/server1/server1.pid

If present, apply solution below to resolve.

Resolving The Problem

Delete the server1.pid. file and restart the profile.

WORKAROUND:

Restart the profile using the command line utility:

  1. Start a command prompt
  2. Navigate (cd) to the <WebSphere_installation>/AppServer/bin directory
  3. Run the command:

    startServer.bat server -profileName <Name_of_the_RTCProfile>
