Webserver issues

Issue1: While redeploying PIA after tools patch the following error comes, even though PIA redeployment should not prompt for HTTP port. 

Invalid HTTP port. Please enter a number.

Solution:

1) Make a backup of file weblogic.xml which is located in <PS_HOME>/webserv/<DOMAIN_NAME>/applications/peoplesoft/PORTAL.war/WEB-INF

2) Edit weblogic.xml and remove any hyphens from the machine/host name in the 'CookieName' parameter
Example: Change this:

<session-param>
<param-name>CookieName</param-name>
<param-value>MY-WEB-SERVER-80-PORTAL-PSJSESSIONID</param-value>
</session-param>

To this:

<session-param>
<param-name>CookieName</param-name>
<param-value>MYWEBSERVER-80-PORTAL-PSJSESSIONID</param-value>
</session-param>

3) Now you should be able to proceed with the redeploy and/or the installation of another site

4) After successful installation, restore the backup of weblogic.xml so that the host name is back to its original value
