WAS Console Broken java.io.FileNotFoundException: /secure/layouts/ApplicationServer.collection.table.extends

On clicking on Servers->Application Servers link on WAS 6 console, I got the following error:

It was working fine the other day.

Can anyone please suggest the reason for this?

Chances are that the ISC (Admin console) is somehow corrupted.

Try and restore this using iscdeploy -restore.

I have always used this if i suspect that the admin console is somehow not working as expected.

Find below a link to a blog comment which talks briefly about this and it has a reference to an IBM doc (which is for Process Server but the content is appropriate for WAS too).

Someone probably really deleted files he should not have deleted or the file access rights are broken.
