After logging into the TIBCO Spotfire Server Administration Console web page, a pop up message is displayed with the warning:
"There are problems with the connection to the TIBCO Spotfire Server.
Please restart the Administration Console.
If the problems remain please contact your system administrator.
The HTTP status code is 500."
Refer to the attached (Filename: SpotfireWarning.jpg).
Once you click "OK" and then access the "Deployment" tab, the deployments will be empty where as previously there were client deployments.
On the Spotfire server machine, look at <install dir>/tomcat/Logs/catalina.log, you may see the following:
