ERROR org.grails.web.errors.GrailsExceptionResolver - ConverterException occurred when processing request: [GET] /locale/languages

...........[main] ERROR grails.boot.GrailsApp - Application startup failed 

Environment

All supported DevTest releases and platforms.

Cause

There were hung DevTest processes running in the background. 

Resolution

Stop all the DevTest Components.

1. Execute the below command to make sure no processes are running

>ps -ef | grep Java 

If you still see java processes, use the  Kill -9 <PID> command  to kill the process. 

 2. Go to the /tmp or /temp folder for the Linux machine

Look to see if there is an i4jdaemon file that has EnterpriseDashboardService in the name like for example:

-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 5 Oct 23 07:38 i4jdaemon__opt_ca_lisa_DevTest_bin_EnterpriseDashboardService 

3. Delete the file from this folder, you will need to be root permission to do this.

4. Delete the old lisatmp_x.x folder for clean logs.

5. Restart all the components starting with the Enterprise Dashboard.

 Do this command from your DEVTEST_HOME/bin folder to verify the status.

./EnterpriseDashboardService status

 Do the same for the Registry and the other components.
