Hi,

I'm having a problem starting the WebSphere 6 server from MyEclipse. I can start and stop the (local) server outside of MyEclipse but when I try to start it within, I get the message: "A configuration error has occurred during startup. Please verify the preference field with the prompt: Specified working directory does not exist or is not a directory: C:\IBM\WebSphere\bin". Which preference field is it referring to? None of my preferences say "C:\IBM\WebSphere\bin".

Thanks,

David

David,
When you install WebSphere, in addition to the install directory containing the application server, it also contains a JDK. You must go to your connector settings under Window > Prefs > MyEclipse > Servers > WebSphere > JDK, and configure that specific JDK to launch WebSphere.

Nipun,
I've created a JRE definition called "WebSphere 6 JDK" which has a location of "C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java" and have set that as the value for Window > Prefs > MyEclipse > Servers > WebSphere > JDK and I still get the same result. Is that not the right location?

Thanks,

David

Hey David,

Can you post all the values of your Websphere 6.0 preference page? Also it looks like WAS6.0 is installed in C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer, is that right?
.

Yes and yes:

WebSphere server: Enable
WebSphere home directory: C:\IBM\WebSphere
Profile root directory: C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01
Node name: ITSUSDJMNode01
Cell name: ITSUSDJMNode01Cell
Server name: AppSrv01
Soap Port: 8880
Admin Port: 9060
DB2J system directory: C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\cloudscape
ITP directory: C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\bin
Security policy: C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\properties\server.policy
Security configuration: C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\properties\wsjaas.conf
Output encoding: console
Debug messages: checked
Optional program arguments: <none>
Optional shutdown arguments: <none>

WebSphere JDK name: WebSphere 6 JDK, which points at C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\java
Optional Java VM arguments: -Xmx256M

WebSphere launch mode: debug

Paths: <none specified>

Is this what you need?

Thanks,

David

Hey David,

Try setting your WebSphere home directory to

Quote:

C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer

All of the other values look correct. Making that change should fix the configuration error you are seeing. All

Yes, that did it. Thanks for your help.

Glad its working for you.
