IBM MobileFirst Platform Operations Console : No runtime can be found

My setup:

  • MobileFirst Platform foundation 6.3.0.00-20141127-1357
  • WebSphere Application Server 8.5.5.0 (1.0.3.20130510-0831) on Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM, version 1.7.0_75-b13 (en_US)
  • hosted on softlayer

Installed using the knowledge center guide for 6.3.
I have 1 issues now that I can't seem to understand:

Built the .war and tried to deploy it using the server config tool but I end up with "no runtime found" like in the various posts.

Things I have checked:

  • my java version that was fine
  • checked the entries in server.xml for duplicates of WL Admin services war, only one exists.
  • checked that server config tool actually deploys war file in servers/servername/apps and updates server.xml
  • tried setting run and deploy settings in eclipse to point to my server

What else can I check? Going a little nuts now. did this installation a few months back and I don't remember struggling this much.

logs: http://pastebin.com/Z6CwqCVV
server.xml: http://pastebin.com/MnpjQ2GY

Also, does anyone know of a good write up explaining the manual deployment method, tried the ibm docs but they seem to assume I know more than I do.

Would like to understand the core elements I need to update in the server xml and where to move the various wars, to manually configure mfp after install.

    The manual instructions are here:

    1) For the Worklight Console (and administration service)

    Then you have similar instructions for the runtime (Project WAR file built with the Worklight Studio or CLI)

    For the database of a runtime (with mySQL) : https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZH4A_6.2.0/com.ibm.worklight.deploy.doc/admin/t_config_MySQL_DB_manually.html [Includes steps to declare the datasource to Liberty]

    For the Liberty Server: (features / library / war file etc..) https://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSZH4A_6.2.0/com.ibm.worklight.deploy.doc/admin/c_manually_configuring_app_server.html

    The Server Configuration Tool should do the same.
