Cause

$AUTOUSER/webserver/wrapper.conf  file was manually modified externally to remove some parameters.

Resolution

• Restore $AUTOUSER/webserver/wrapper.conf  from a backup file, or copy it from another server where it works fine (adjust the instance name / path values appropriately)
• Restart AEWS service
