Strange prob, can login only at the end of install, it fails after restart

Question

Hi Every body
I have this strange problem, i don't know where i'm making mistake.
I installed EBS more than 5 times, thought i have made some mistake with pre-installation requirement or post installation requireement, but every time i'm faced with the same problem.
My machine configuration is P4, 3.0GHz, Ram 1 GB, 240 GB HD. with RHEL4 installed. Have created dba usergroup and created user oracle and applmgr made them part of dba group.
I'm doing multi-user installation for Vision Demo data. Logged in as root.
i created a top level directory /sz1/oracle and changed the permission as chmod -R 777 /sz1/oracle
applied pre-installation patch 4198954 as root
verified other pre-installation requirements as per installation guide.
downloaded latest rapidwiz as per note p4159029.
Started installation as root
specified 'oracle' as owner for DATABASE
specified 'applmgr' as owner for APPLICATION
the installation completed with successfull checks on pre-installation requirements and post-installation checks.
After the completion of installation, i logged in from windows client using the path,
http://sri.shan.com:8001
i get the installer home page, i chose the application links and logged in to OAM as sysadmin, verified the status. found concurrent manager was not started.
started the concurrent manager manually by running the script sh adcmctl.sh as root. the service started successfully.
then i re-started the Linux box, logged in as root and tried to run the script adstrtal.sh like
<COMN_TOP>/admin/scripts/VIS_<hostname>/sh adstrtal.sh APPS/APPS
i get the following error message, it is same in all 5 times of installation
You are running adstrtal.sh version 115.14

Exiting with status 9
when i tried to run these scripts individually,
all the scripts started successfully except adalnctl.sh failed
the error message is
adalnctl.sh version
Checking for FNDFS executable.
Starting listener process APPS_VIS.
adalnctl.sh: exiting with status 1
Then i logged in as applmgr, i can run the script adstrtal.sh successfully
at this stage tried to login from windows client using following link,
http://sri.shan.com:8001/oa_servlets/AppsLogin
on the browser i get the following error message
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log
I stuck at this stage and do not know how to proceed.
Verified the Jserv status as per the metalink note 204123.1, 230688.1. and 311932.1
I get the 'IsItworking' page and 'Hello' page with out any trouble.
When i checked the mod_jserv.log file(located at APPL_TOP/Apache/Jserv/logs)
i get the following data
[30/10/2005 11:19:24:439] (ERROR) ajp12: Servlet Error: java.lang.NullPointerException: null
[30/10/2005 11:19:24:456] (ERROR) an error returned handling request via protocol"ajpv12"

[30/10/2005 11:19:24:456] (ERROR) an error returned handling request via protocol "balance"
Any guidance on this issue will be highly appreciable and helpful for me to proceed.
Thanks in Advance to All..

The Adconfig script did not succeed.
Following is the response i got..

all with status completed
Autoconfig completed with errors.
the logfile for this session is located at APPL_TOP/admin/VIS_<hostname>/log/11031117/adconfig.log
While checking for this log file i found one more on the same path.
It is named 'NetServiceHandler.log'

I think i'm making a mistake of running this script with out starting the db..
But i don't know where to find the script to start the db..
