BEA-000364 Server failed during initialization.

Question

Hi,
I am using WL8.1SP3 in Linux, and I am getting the following stack trace on starting the server
<Oct 18, 2004 4:09:30 AM PDT> <Warning> <EmbeddedLDAP> <BEA-171520> <Could not obtain an exclusive lock for directory: ./myserver/ldap/ldapfiles. Waiting for 10 seconds and then retrying in case existing WebLogic Server is still shutting down.>

I even deleted and recreated the corressponding folders ldapfiles, but it did not help. also restarted some of the os level services like lockd, startd.
does anybody have any tips. my server instance was workign well, but i had stopped the service and wanted to restart it. thats when i got this error. i have killed all java processes, so not sure which process has a handle to these folders.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.
My Admin server is running fine. The msi-config.xml, SerializedSystemIni.dat, boot.properties files are in the same directory. When I exceute the command
startManagedWebLogic.sh <managed server name> it shows the same exception
<WebLogicServer> <BEA-000364> <Server failed during initialization. Exception:weblogic.security.spi.ProviderInitializationException: [Security:090314]Entitlement Engine unable to connect to the embedded LDAP server
