Problems with 9.1C appserver starting/registering on RedHat 7.2 Linux

[oshan]

Hey ppl,

Problem Description:

Admin Server starts, NameServer autostarts up ok but when we try to bring up the appservers they stay in status "STARTING" because they can't/don't register with the NS.

Setup:

We have been running a progress v8 character system and v9.1b GUI system
for some time. the hardware that we have been using is Compaq servers
(x86 hardware) running Solaris 8. With it looking like Sun will no
longer be producing x86 versions of their Operating System, we have
decided to move our Database Operating systems to Redhat Linux 7.2.

The problems that we are having are on starting the appserver for the
first time or any time for that matter. I have tried this on 3 different
servers/machines running redhat 7.2 with the same problems all times. I
am using Sun's JRE version 1.3.1 as cetified on the Progress Knowledge
Base - kbase 21937, and the latest 9.1c linux patch off progresses web
site.

So the problem occours after install on trying to start appserver
(happens every time).

The user root is used to start the adminserver

we are running Linux Redhat 7.2

and I can reproduce this problem when ever i want, ie just try and run
an appserver on redhat 7.2

Any help greatly appriciated.

TIA

Verify that your working directory is valid.
Also, if you are connecting to any databases, verify that they are started prior to starting the appserver.

I would start out by creating a new Appserver broker from Progress Explorer and start it with the default values put there by Progress Explorer.

After that start adding changes until it breaks.

We are running Sun Java 1.3.1 with 9.1C with Appservers on RedHat 7.2.

I did have problems with RedHat 7.1 SMP kernel and Java but since going to 7.2 SMP kernel have had no problems.

Ah yes, I've seen this. You need the latest v9.1C patch for Linux and the correct JDK. The wrong version of Java will kill you. E.g. JDK 1.3.0 works well on Tru64 but JDK 1.3.1 doesn't (for me).

Hope that helps
