WPS 5.1 Server some path errors solution

I have been the victim of same frustration as you all have been. The solution I am suggesting here worked for me and hope will work for you ALL too. Good Luck!

1. Stop your portal test server in RAD/RSA.
2. Go to the location as below
<Your_Workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\com.ibm.wtp.server.core\configs\06_12_06_10_52_AM31-data\cells\localhost\applications
3. Delete the folders belonging to your pain projects (you can find the list of these so called 'pain' projects from "applications" tab in server config in RAD)
4. Restart your portal test server and you will see (for your surprise) the pain projects are gone.

 

Oops, sorry forgot to mention that you need to delete the entries for "pain" projects from the following files too.

<Your_Workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\com.ibm.wtp.server.core\configs\06_12_06_10_52_AM31-data\cells\localhost\nodes\localhost\serverindex.xml

<Your_Workspace>\.metadata\.plugins\com.ibm.wtp.server.core\configs\06_12_06_10_52_AM31-data\memento.xml
