Error in starting domain controller !

Question

I have installed on Windows 2000, Oracle 9i Database 9.0.1 and Oracle 9iFS release 9.0.1.
Configuration was OK, but the domain doesn't start.
I launch 'ifslaunchdc.bat', 'ifslaunchnode.bat', and when I launch 'ifsstartdomain.bat', I receive this error:
"An exception occurred while starting Domain controller - oracle.ifs.common.IfsException: IFS-40066: Remothed method threw exception java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: OCIEnvHandle"
OTHER WAY:
If I try in Oracle Management Server (from Oracle Enterprise Management Console), I go to Internet File Systems, I go to the domain picasso:53140 and it is launched (yellow light). I do right click and I choose 'Start Domain'. I receive the following message:
" The Domain Controller 'picasso:53140' is launched
Command failed:
IFS-40066: Remothed method threw exception java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: OCIEnvHandle"
So, the same error, and I don't find anywhere this exception !
What should be done? Thanks, Jeanina

Answer 1

I am not sure how you got into this state, but to clear it up you can edit the boot.properties file to enter (clear text) the username and password for the server (entered when running the Configuration Wizard).
The boot.properties file is located in your domain at:
<domain root>/servers/AdminServer/security
Just enter the username and password in the file:
username=myUserName
password=myPassword
WebLogic Server will boot up using these values and immediately encrypt the username and password in the file.
An alternate approach would be to delete boot.properties in which case WLS will prompt you for the id/pw each time it is started/stopped.
