title: Application Server was not connected before run configuration stop: unable to ping to localhost:7001
body: <p>I am trying to run my weblogic from Intellij. I am getting the error:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>Application Server was not connected before run configuration stop, reason: Unable to ping to server at localhost:7001.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>In addition to this error, I also see the following error in my Intellij terminal and when I try to run the startWeblogic.cmd:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>The syntax of the command is correct.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>The server was working just fine when I tried running another project on the same server. The other project gave this error first and now it's showing up on this project. I did not have the weblogic server running on both of them at the same time. I have also tried deleting the java.exe processes on my computer since that has fixed the unable to ping in the past, but not this time.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit:</strong> I have just tried to run my Weblogic's config.cmd in order to build a new local host, but the cmd line gives me the "syntax is incorrect" just for trying to start up the config.cmd. So, I think this issue is rooted in my Weblogic somehow.</p>
  
  <p><strong>Edit</strong>: I tried reinstalling a fresh Weblogic 12 and it still gave me "the syntax is incorrect" when I tried running the config.cmd.</p>
