Websphere server not starting but shows "Started" in Console?

So this error is in my case is caused because the workbench is not able to connect to the actual server. See in Rad 7 (perhaps in RAD6 also, not sure) the server does not come totally embedded in the RAD tool.

When we start the server through the RAD server view, the server is started but there is a need for the workbench (working files in RAD) to connect to the server - this is where it uses the RMI or SOAP ports to connect and sync with the actual server.

This error where the console says that server is started but the actual server does not publish our app and says starting... can be fixed in this case (could be any other reason) by using the right RMI or SOAP ports. Look for these ports in the console view right above where it says the server is started. Now right click the server in server view and update the RMI and SOAP ports to the previous values. Restart the server, hopefully this should fix your problem.

In my case (RAD on Centos) the correct ports were:
RMI - 2809
SOAP - 8880
