J2EE http_alias -remove not working

Hello, I mistakenly created 2 alias via the Vis Admin's http provider service with the names /Marketing and Marketing using the Visual Admin tool. When I select each of them and select "remove", then save properties they are not displayed anymore in the tool. If I then reselect the http provider service they appear again.

Via the telnet console, I jump to my node, type ADD HTTP, then http_alias -host default Marketing -remove. I get no error in the telnet console. Then I type http_alias to lists the know alias and both alias are displayed again.

If I try and change the path for one of the alias via telnet console http_alias Marketing /path I see in the default trace file :

"An application with the same alias already exists."

And I have restarted the instance more than once.

So how can I -force the deletion of the alias?

Thanks

Hello Stephen,

Here is one way to solve the problem.

In Visual Admin navigate to the Configuration Adapter service under one of the server nodes.

Expand the Configurations tree - HTTPHosts - default - Aliases.

There you will find a branch of each of your server nodes and a default branch.

Click on the little pencil button to go to change mode and then delete the occurrences of your marketing aliases under the default branch and the server ID branches.

When you go back to the HTTP Provider service the aliases should be gone.
