SASStudio not working giving HTTP Status 404 not found error

VatKS — Sun, 13 Apr 2025 20:19:21 GMT

A similar issue I see at but didn't find any solution, https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/Web-server-don-t-start/td-p/807390
We are using SAS 9.4 M6

Webserver Catalina has these:

An HTTP 404 response when accessing /SASStudio suggests the SAS Studio Web Application didn't start, so this is likely a failure happening in SASServer2_1 where SAS Studio runs. Are the other web applications and servers functional? For example, can you access /SASLogon and be prompted for authentication credentials, and/or authenticate successfully? Does restarting the middle tier have any impact on the issue?

From the messages provided it looks like the server may have had an issue connecting to the Metadata Server when it was starting, so this may have been the result of the middle tier being started before the Metadata tier.

@gwootton , There is only SASStudio is being used. SAS logon is also not accessible, However, web server is deployed successfully. Restarting also didn't help. Everything Stopped and started as per defined procedure and best practices.

Raised it with SAS INstitute they suggested to run a Repair on Metadata server as they found an ID in log of Mwtadata which does not exists and server is trying to connect with it.

So once I try then will see if it works. probably planning for first May weekend.
