After upgrading from UIM 8.4 SP2 to version 8.5, the admin console is no longer working.

The wasp probe on the primary hub would not get a port and at first we saw that port 80 was taken.

Perform the following steps on the Primary hub:

1. Deactivate wasp
2. Rt-click and delete the wasp probe
3. Delete the wasp folder from the file system
4. Redeploy the following necessary packages for the adminconsoleapp:
    - wasp
    - mps
    - uimhome
    - adminconsoleapp
5. Activate wasp

Then wasp should obtain a port as well as the PID.

Hit the adminconsole url/link:

http://localhost/adminconsleapp and the Admin Console Sign In window should be displayed - you should then be able to login.

Note also that the address for Admin Console is now:

<UIM_Server_IP_Address>:<wasp_port>/adminconsoleapp

Note: The wasp port is set to 80 by default.

The service_host probe is no longer required.

If you have the service_host probe activated, you should Deactivate it.

Note that in the UIM 8.47 Help docs and the community webcast, these changes were noted:

Help doc extract:
New Home Page Address

The address for Admin Console is now:

<UIM_Server_IP_Address>:<wasp_port>/adminconsoleapp

Note also that the uimserverpackages.zip is simply used during the install and contains all of the necessary packages.
