a question to Kyle ...

[dirmen wang]

hi Kyle,
I just bought the book Java Enterprise Programming with IBM Websphere and installed the App server 3.5, studio 3.5 and the http server from the CD which associated with the book (under win2k professional).
After the installation, I have trouble to start both admin server and the http server.
I have searched this topic over the web for whole day, but seems nobody has the clear resolution!
Here is what I get from the following command C:\WebSphere\AppServer\bin\adminservice
StartServiceCtrlDispatcher failed with error 1063
could you help me out?
Thanks in advance!

I'll try to answer this in the WebSphere forum where it belongs...

OK, 1063 is a generic error -- it just means the service couldn't start. Let's back up and check everything out -- for instance, is DB2 correctly installed and running?

Kyle,
Thanks for your reply.
My DB2 is installed and running.
However, if I go to C:\WebSphere\AppServer\bin\debug\adminserver
seems it could start adminserver there

This is odd. Are there other JDK's installed on your machine? That may be causing a problem.
Kyle

[dirmen wang]

Yes, I have other JDK in my computer.
But I just took out the "JDK line" in %PATH% and it still not working.
However I still have JDK line in %classpath% do I have to took that out too?
Thank you for answering!

we had this problem before.
Try to delete the admin service from Services, reboot ur box and manually add/run it as service.

[dirmen wang]

thanks for the reply bill, could you be more specific, do you mean to delete from ||control panel->administrative tools->services\IBM WS AdminServer?
If you mean that there is no delete key available, the only thing that I could find is to disabled it (right now it was set Manual).

Yes -- totally remove the other JDK and see if the problem clears up.
