Error after upgrading to Weblogic Server 4.5.1

Question

Hi,
We upgraded Weblogic server version 4.0.3 to version 4.5.1 service pack
18. Since after the upgrade, when I try to check the version installed,
I get the error message that T3 admin. is not found. I can't even use
java utils to check my version. I have tried redoing the class path and
shared library path, but nothing works. Can please somebody help me? We
are using Solaris 2.7 operating system and JDK version 1.1.8_12.
Thanks.

Hi Robert,
Thanks for the suggestion. I reinstalled 4.5.1 from the CD and everything works. I haven't installed the
service patch 13 yet. My next question from you is: Do I need to make changes to the application to use it
on WLS 4.5.1. This application was written around 4.0.3 and JDK 1.1.6. I have also upgraded the JDK to
version "Solaris_JDK_1.1.7_08a".
Following is the error I receive in the log file:
com.leretanet.common.hi.LoginServlet init parameters:
Loading com/leretanet/common/leretanet.properties
Unable to load properties file 'com/leretanet/common/leretanet.properties'.
File 'com/leretanet/common/leretanet.properties' not found on classpath.

Mon Jan 08 20:48:36 PST 2001:<E> <ServletContext-Servlets> java.lang.NullPointerException
Attached is the startup batch script that we are using to start weblogic services.Application classes are
under the /work/weblogic/classes directory. Logically, it should find everything. Application does display
the Login page. It dies after I enter userId and password.
Any input? Since you were so helpful last time, I thought I'll try my luck.
Thanks.

It sounds like your installation has been corrupted. I just sent you email with the classes from this
directory -- if this doesn't work, you should probably re-download and re-install...
Hope this helps,

Hi Robert,
Thanks for being so helpful. You have helped me more than the BEA tech support. I've been going in
circle with them and not being able to find any answers. Well, the InitialReferenceConstants.class
is part of NT install. I do have an NT development server, when I did the search on that class I
found it in rmi/entention directory. I don't see it in Unix classes. Although, I downloaded the
upgrade from BEA's website, may be I used the wrong download?
Just for testing purpose, I copied that class file from my NT server to the Unix server and when I
did the version check I got the ClassDef error on another Class. I kept copying the class files
that it was not finding on my Unix server from my NT server. I'm down to a file that does not
exist in NT. Here's the error:
java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: weblogic/rmi/extensions/BasicRemoteObjectReference

at weblogic.common.T3Client.<init>(Compiled Code)
at weblogic.Admin.connect(Compiled Code)
at weblogic.Admin.main(Compiled Code)
Now what do I do?
Thanks again.
Zahida.
