I am unable to get MyEclipse to start Weblogic8 after I upgraded from MyEclipse 3.8 to 4.1.1.
The error says no such file or directory but I had this running before I upgraded so I am not sure which file is missing.
I am using my previous workspace and I can start the weblogic server from the commandline.
Any suggestions?

My configuration summary and the error from my eclipse log are below.

I would first try restarting with -clean command line argument to resync your plugin caches.

Also, I would suggest re-setting up your WebLogic 8.1 connector settings just incase things went silly over there.

Thanks for the reply 🙂
I have tried both of these suggestions but still recieve the same error when starting the app server.

I also uninstalled MyEclipse and Ecilpse then installed both into new directories and a new workspace. But still the problem exists.

How can I make sure My eclipse is completely removed before reinstalling it?

[Riyad Kalla]

To fully uninstall MyEclipse you a) can erase the dir it installed to and then restart with -clean.

I want to try one more thing, create a new workspace: File > Switch Workspace > C:\tempworkspace, hit OK. Now go setup WebLogic 8.1 (you may need to re-setup the WL JDK), now try and start it. Did it start? If not, can you still run WebLogic from the command line without problems?

I switched the workspace and reentered the setup information for Weblogic8. Still got the same alert popup window with the error “A configuration error occured during startup. Please verify the preference field with the prompt: err:: No such file or directory Error [2] in connect() call! …” this is the same as the exception in the log file.

I uninstalled MyEclipse and launched eclipse from the command line with the -clean option.
I verifed that MyEclipse was not listed and that the directory it was in was gone also.
Closed eclipse and reinstalled MyEclipse.
Launched eclipse again.
MyEclipse was installed and still knows my new subscription information.

How can I make certain that all my previous installs of MyEclipse (i.e. 2.6, 2.7, 3.8) are not around? The directory that they were in was deleted each time I uninstalled/reinstalled them.

[Riyad Kalla]

The only place MyEclipse lives is in those install dirs, so if those are erased, it’s gone (no reg entries or anything). The -clean issue is just to clear up your plugin cache.

Just wanted to leave a bread crumb of what my problem actually was.
The connect error was because the firewall was preventing access.
My corporate IT support implemented a new rule which blocked all java programs from accessing the internet.
I got them to add javaw.exe but I needed java.exe to have access also.

Thanks for the help.
Apologize for creating the issue.

[Riyad Kalla]

Thank you for the followup, it will help other users in a similar situation.
