– Message Body ——————————-

I am trying to connect to WebSphere 5.1. When I use the applications server manager menu to start the server, I get the following error:

A configuration error occured during startup. Please verify the preferences field with the prompt. Specified working directory does not exist or is not a directory: c:\ProgramFiles\WebSphere/bin.

This message is correct. In my WebSphere installation there is a c:\ProgramFiles\WebSphere\AppServer\bin subdirectory and a
c:\ProgramFiles\WebSphere\DeploymentManager\bin subdirectory but no WebSphere\bin subdirectory.

Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Thanks for your previous response. I tried it and it works. However, I now have another problem. I took the advice posted elsewhere on how to get the WebSphere logging information to write to the Eclipse console. But now when I do a startup I get the following message:

Hmm, see if you can find which JAR has this class in it (com.logging) and be sure it is in the server classpath. Looks like it got left out in the cold.

Keep in mind our tutorial for setting up Websphere on the site is for 6.0, so there might be tiny differences (like this) that might require a little more detective work with older versions.
