Can't update web server plugin in WSAD 5.1

[Greg Brouelette]

When I try to update the Web Server plugin in WSAD 5.1 I'm getting this error.
No message text associated with key mbeanexception.on.plugincfg in bundle com.ibm.ejs.resources.seriousMessages
I can't seem to find anything in the help system or on-line about it. Several people in our company are having the same issue. Any ideas what it might be and how to fix it?
Thank you

Here's the entire exception:
PLGC0009I: Generating for all servers on cell localhost, node localhost.

I have never once needed to regen the web server plugin for WSAD or even know how to do it. Are you sure you are not referring to the WebSphere Application Server version 5.1?

[Greg Brouelette]

In WSAD you can launch the same admin console for a test server that you'd see in WebSphere server. As I understand it, if I make a change to a virtual host setting I should refreash the web plugin.
But you/re right, I am essentially looking at the WebSphere server admin console. I'm just doing it via WSAD with the settings related to the WSAD internal test server.

[Scott Duncan]

So you have you test environment set up in WSAD to run against a remote WebSphere Server. As far as I know, you would have to regen the plug-in file directly. I do not think you can do that with WSAD but please correct me if I am wrong. Do you have access to the machine where WAS 5 is running? You can go to the WebSphere/AppServer/bin directory and run GenPluginCfg or update the plug-in through the WAS web admin console.

No, I have a test server running inside WSAD. It's not a remote server. By turning on "Admin Console" in the server's deployment descriptor and then right clicking on the server item in the server window while it's running I can start an admin console.
The initial problem is this: There are some people here who can access applications running on ther desktop (inside WSAD ) from an external browser by pointing to their IP address or machine name. (Anything other than localhost). On 4 of our computers we cannot seem to access them from anything other than localhost (and, obviously, from the same machine where the server is running).
The solution seems to be to make sure that there is a * in the virtual host setting and then to update the web server plug-in. But we can't update the web server plug-in ONLY on some machines. We can't figure out what's different from one computer to the others that makes one able to update and the others not.

In that case, I wish I could help but I've never done that. Let us know when you figure it out.
