Iplanet 4.1 server failed to shutdown

OK I have IPlanet web server 4.2 with SP7 and in the admin screens I want to turn the server off and back on. When I click "off" I get...
server failed to shutdown (0: unknown early startup error)
What in the world is going on? I deleted the wdnotify file and this didn't solve the problem. I could probably do a kill -9 and try to restart it, but what if I get a "could not start" error. Anyone dealt with this before?

ok, I grew some balls and reboot the entire UNIX box. Took down all 5 websites! It restarted without a hitch. After the reboot I WAS able to stop and restart the server as many times as needed. No problems.
Here's the thing. I am trying to install the MS SQL Server JDBC driver so my jsp's can connect to a database. From what I read you can just add the path to the jar's in the JVM12.conf file. Well I go to the 'Servlets' tab and hit the 'Configure JVM Attributes' button and scroll over to the JVM Classpath to put the path to my jdbc jars. I did that and tried to stop and restart the server and I am back in the same boat. I tried to shutdown the server and I get a shutdown error. Everything worked until I tried to edit the JVM12.conf file. Now I probably have to reboot to get this thing to work again. My question is....
Why would editing the jvm12.conf file make me have a shutdown failure? Nothing about this failure is entered into the error log or I would post the contents.

Server failed to shutdown. (0: unknown early startup error

I am running iPlanet 4.1 SP8 on Solaris 8. I receive the following error message when trying to shut down the server via the Administration console:
server failed to shutdown. (0: unknown early startup error
Any ideas?

Hi
There is not error message in the Admin Server Logs. In fact, I only see the following:
Status:
[https-compartido]: server failed to shutdown. (0: unknown early startup error)
Error
An error occurred during shutdown.
If I shutdown from the script there is no problem. Only when I try shutdown it from the Admin Server I'm using Solaris 5.8.

Unable to initialize the server: Server failed to bind to the requested por

I am facing the error while starting the server. I see the following error.
<Sep 26, 2007 11:49:54 PM EDT> <Emergency> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000350> <Unable to create a server socket on Channel Default for: 162.86.20.87, port: 8101. java.net.BindException: Address already in use Perhaps the address 162.86.20.87 is incorrect or another process is using port 8101.>

The WebLogic Server did not start up properly.
Exception raised: 'weblogic.server.ServerLifecycleException: Server failed to bind to the requested port. See preceeding log message for details.'
Reason: Server failed to bind to the requested port. See preceeding log message for details.
If the port is already in use how to find which server is running on that port, how to find the process and kill it. I am using weblogic 8.1 sp4 in Solaris 8.

Bruce:
It sounds like (as you already note) failed to shutdown WLS, that is why the
.loc file was held and why the port is in use, WLS process was still
running. To see why it failed to shut down, I would examine the
weblogic.log, aslo the servers std out and err. Additionally taking a
thread dump (if possible) on the "it wont shut down" wls java process should
show (maybe unless the VM is hosed), where/what is hanging on/around. Do
you happen to have native code running with wls, say a type 2 JDBC driver?
Otherwise it sounds like a VM bug. But more data is needed to be sure.
Cheers

I was shutting down the WLS server using the console shutdown and itfailed to shutdown completely. I then attempted to use the kill command on
the process which usually works. This time I was unable to kill the process
without using the kill -9 command. When I attempted to bring the server
back up I got a failure to get a lock on the embedded ldap. I removed the
.loc file and came further up but was unable to get further than the
listener ports which were still locked to the old process. Do you know of
anything I can do the get the WLS server back up without rebooting my
Solaris server????
netstat -an shows the port is in use but the only process that is alloweduse that port is WLS.

Migrate certificate 3.x to Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server 4.0.20

Hi
I try to migrate from Sun iPlanet Web Proxy Server(SPWPS) 3.6 to Oracle iPlanet Web Proxy Server(OPWPS) 4.0.20 and I have some problem.
I have an instance in SPWPS-3.6 with SSL certificate, when I migrate it to OPWPS-4.0.20 using the admin interface, the certificate
is not migrate with this error message :
Migrating Keys and Certificates...
[Error] The password entered for the key is not valid
Assimilation failed.
But I am sure to enter the right password.
After that I manage the new instance in administration interface, and in Security Panel, there is a choice to "Migrate 3.x certificate"
I try this, but I get this error message
Incorrect Usage
The password entered is not valide
Can somebody help me to resolve this problem ?
Thanks in advance.

Bug Report: JSSE 1.0.2 & iPlanet-Web-Proxy-Server/3.6

When tunneling through iPlanet-Web-Proxy-Server/3.6 we get a "Socket Closed" exception during the handshake (right after overlaying the tunnel). I got this problem with HP-UX. My browser works fine with that proxy so the problem isn't the proxy. And my code works fine with every other proxies. This proxy does return HTTP 1.0 so this well known issue isn't related.
Anyone from Sun can confirm this issue ?
Anyone else got this bug ?
Thanks in advance.

Hi all,
When you say tunnelling, are you referring to code similiar to the code in JavaWorld Tip 111?
I am currently trying to debug some issues with that code myself. I get similiar errors when tunnelling through a proxy.
The download works correctly when a HttpsURLConnection is used to connect directly to the same site.
I am using a squid-cache as my test proxy, so I am not sure if the proxy is the problem. (assuming we are talking about the same issue)
I have noticed that a V3 site certificate seems to be more likely to fail though. I have not found a site using a V1 certificate where the tunnelling has failed.
We are also discussing what I think is the same issue in the thread "HTTPS tunneling and V3 certificates".
I have been trying to get this stuff working for a few months now.

Used m.hotmail.com on server field. It offered the extensive setup like on Mail for mac with SMTP, SSL, etc.. which only knew to use m.hotmail.com on server, but instead the menu offer the typical incoming and outgoing server name. Still failed.
The setting were set to these setting by default and it worked: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-CA/hotmail/send-receive-email-from-mail-client
But I don't want to set it to a POP account, I want a IMAP type setting.
So bottom line, the preset MS Exchange and Hotmail on iOS 6 won't work anymore. Why not when they worked for a while until yesterday ?
Nothing changes on iPhone setting.
Thanks for your input.

Has anyone called Apple support on this issue or is this strictly a Hotmail issue?
Also, just to make sure I'm understanding that my problem is "normal" for what others are encountering:
I set up my hotmail account and it wont work, I try to do it thru "Other Email" and it doesnt push the emails to my phone, I can get the emails (at times) but I have to fetch them. Otherwise I cannot send or recieve any emails by setting it up thru the Hotmail or Microsoft Exchange accounts.
Is this what everyone seems to be encountering?
New to the "forums" but this problem is really becoming a nuisance!!!

Start by working throudh the Troubleshooting iOS and WiFi knowledge base article and see if that helps the situation. When you get to shutting down the router, be sure to disconnect power as shutdown on some is really just standby mode.

Iphoto lost all photos - request to server failed?

I have a 2011 intel iMac. It is the (supposedly) powerful 3.1ghz i5, and i upgraded the RAM to 12 Gig. Before buying this machine I had a 2008 iMac and LOVED it, it was superb. But this machine is SLOWER than that one was?! I am running OSX lion, iLife 09 and iWork 11. I am having a nightmare with this machine, it hands constantly, i only have a few apps open and still it can take 5-10 seconds (beachballing) for finder to draw my files when i open a folder. This can't be right. I have reloaded the entire machine from scratch twice by cloning files off and then MANUALLY rebuilding it (not using Migrate Assistant to ensure to i was not bringing any bad data or bugs across from old installation or old machine).
It is slow as a dog, way slower than my old iMac which had a mere 2 Gig of Ram! If i open more than 10 browser tabs in Safari it goes so slow I can't use the internet. The machine crashes at least twice a week and just hands so I have to force shutdown, and my latest error is iPhoto just lost ALL my photos, 5 years worth and gives the error "Request to server failed" but says nothing else of any use. I am hoping to recover them with TimeMachine but wait and see on that score as nothing seems to be right with this machine so no doubt TM will play up as well.
I have VMWare Fusion installed, latest version. It does seem slower when running that, but it still crashed and plays up when that is not running so I am sure that is not the source of any problems, it just makes them a bit worse due to processor usage.
Is it possible to get an iMac diagnostically checked (hardware) at an Apple store? It is still under warranty this machine, but I can't drop it off at a store without wiping all my data (clone) to external drive, because I have confidential information stored on it which I can't leave on if the machine leaves my office.
Appreciate it if anyone with any similarly bad experiences of newer iMacs could chip in and suggest any ideas. I struggled to afford to buy this machine, and thought it would sky rocket my performance and speed after my old machine started to get slow due to age, but even at its worst it was never this bad. I am now a very very disappointed Apple lover, ex-lover?!
One final point I should mention, I upgraded the RAM myself, using proper stuff from Crucial. I read that it didn't matter what order the RAM cards were fitted in, is that true or should I try moving them around?
Thanks

Thanks very much for such a quick reply, really appreciate any help I can get with this as I have basically had problems daily for months now and its really ruining my business now. I am not as techie savvy as many others on here, but will do my best.
I did everything you said and here are the results:
Activity Monitor shows top 3 (fluctuating) processes as:
shockwave flash (chrome Plug-In Host) 26% now but jumping between that and down to 8%
Google Chrome renderer 3-7%
Safari Web Content this varies usually between 2% right up to well over 100% (i have seen 120%). When machine is playing up i often see this as being over 100%.
Memory Tab:
2.1MB Pageouts
Disk Usage - free space is, have a 1TB drive so plenty of free space. 289 GB free
I looked in Console. Have never looked at that before.
I clicked "All Messages" and notice something possibly a bit odd.
There are THOUSANDS of messages like this one:
"29/05/2012 18:41:54.292 1PasswordAgent: [HYBI] socketDidDisconnect: Error Domain=GCDAsyncSocketErrorDomain Code=7 "Socket closed by remote peer" UserInfo=0x1058098d0 {NSLocalizedDescription=Socket closed by remote peer}" - I use 1Passwd to manage my passwords for browsers. There are lines and lines of these in Console messages. Looking through them, they appear every single minute of every hour, sometimes two per minute. They all look identical to this one quoted here.
Another noteworthy message in Console is:
"29/05/2012 19:21:17.000 kernel: IOSurface: buffer allocation size is zero". There was one in last few minutes, a few 20 mins ago, and some further up but not on any pattern of frequency.
Should I paste a long list in here so you can see what my console looks like?
Thanks so much
