Error while starting the expedition service: URGENT

Question

After successful Installation of Contract Management D:\pv\Contract Management\, I used the weblogic URLand deployed the D:\ pv\ Contract Management\ ear\ expedition. ear and named the deployment as expedition. Soon after when trying to start this deployment services, the below error is thrown.

Please help, it is really very URGENT.

possibly an error in your startweblogic.cmd file
here is the contents of how it should be. you can replace the domain cm13test with yours, and the rest should works

@REM This script is used to start WebLogic Server for this domain.
@REM
@REM To create your own start script for your domain, you can initialize the
@REM environment by calling @USERDOMAINHOME\setDomainEnv.
@REM
@REM setDomainEnv initializes or calls commEnv to initialize the following variables:
@REM
@REM BEA_HOME - The BEA home directory of your WebLogic installation.
@REM JAVA_HOME - Location of the version of Java used to start WebLogic
@REM Server.
@REM JAVA_VENDOR - Vendor of the JVM (i.e. BEA, HP, IBM, Sun, etc.)
@REM PATH - JDK and WebLogic directories are added to system path.
@REM WEBLOGIC_CLASSPATH
@REM - Classpath needed to start WebLogic Server.
@REM PATCH_CLASSPATH - Classpath used for patches
@REM PATCH_LIBPATH - Library path used for patches
@REM PATCH_PATH - Path used for patches
@REM WEBLOGIC_EXTENSION_DIRS - Extension dirs for WebLogic classpath patch
@REM JAVA_VM - The java arg specifying the VM to run. (i.e.
@REM - server, -hotspot, etc.)
@REM USER_MEM_ARGS - The variable to override the standard memory arguments
@REM passed to java.
@REM PRODUCTION_MODE - The variable that determines whether Weblogic Server is started in production mode.
@REM POINTBASE_HOME - Point Base home directory.
@REM POINTBASE_CLASSPATH
@REM - Classpath needed to start PointBase.
@REM
@REM Other variables used in this script include:
@REM SERVER_NAME - Name of the weblogic server.
@REM JAVA_OPTIONS - Java command-line options for running the server. (These
@REM will be tagged on to the end of the JAVA_VM and
@REM MEM_ARGS)
