(btw it's not "it's Content-Length", but "its Content-Length"... lot of IT people are illiterate...)


Here I google and find the solution:

http://robin4444.blogspot.ch/2011/10/high-availability-of-admin-server.html


“As per KM 1294379.1, Released that there were 0sized files under the config directory of domain which were not being synchronized, removing those files fixed the problem.”


on the admin box (105):

find /opt/oracle/domains/osbpp1do/config -type f -size 0 -exec ls {} \; | xargs ls -ltr

deleted those 2 files in bold. All works again.


Those 2 files were generated by a MS which was migrated to the same box of the Admin, and who left behind some config files... when you start any MS, they fetch the latest configuration files from the Admin, and if one of those files has length = 0, it fails! Bummer!
