Hello
I am trying to configure WAS5.1 as application server on Myeclipse 5.0.1. But when i try to start the server i am getting the following error.

02/10/06 09:56:43:554 CEST] 1dcc2a3 WsServer E WSVR0003E: Server server1 failed to start

I’ve already checked the environment variables and seems that SERVER_LOG_ROOT variable is already defined there .

Is there any one who has an idea about the cause of the problem ?

Thanks In Advance

ebru,

We’ve got a tutorial on configuring WebSphere 5.1 logging to work properly with MyEclipse. I think it will cover what you need and it’s available here: http://www.myeclipseide.com/Articles/WebSphere5.1LogConfiguration/WAS5.1LogConfiguration.html

Oh, there’s also an installation tutorial you might want to check to ensure that the install was done the same way as well:
http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/wasinfo/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.websphere.nd.doc/info/ae/ae/tins_epinst.html

Hello ,
i forgat to mention in my previous message. I’ve already made the required changes for log configuration on Websphere.

What else can be the reason of the problem ?

Thanks

The only other things that seem to cause a problem from time to time are the JDK and external modifications to the server configuration.

For the JDK, have you configured the WebSphere 5 connector in MyEclipse to start the server with the IBM JDK that ships with WebSphere? IBM servers can only be started with IBM JDKs due to the modifications they make. Sun JDKs will not work.

Second, can you start exactly the same server and domain externally from MyEclipse? For example, does it start correctly from the command line?
