SUN WEB SERVER WON'T START AFTER CHANGING JVM & CLASSPATH

Question

hi all,
i have a sunfire 280r box running solaris 8 which i installed with sun web server 6.0 sp11.
the default java is
root@smartvideo1 # java -version
java version "1.2.2"
Solaris VM (build Solaris_JDK_1.2.2_10, native threads, sunwjit)
but this is what i need for my java classes
root@smartvideo1 # /usr/j2se/bin/java -version
java version "1.4.2_01"
Java(TM) 2 Runtime Environment, Standard Edition (build 1.4.2_01-b06)
Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM (build 1.4.2_01-b06, mixed mode)
root@smartvideo1 #
i set the JVM & CLASSPATH settings to /usr/j2se and rebooted the hardware.
now, when i try to start the web server, i get the ff:
[08/Apr/2008:03:23:29] info ( 835): iPlanet-WebServer-Enterprise/6.0SP11 B12/15/2006 03:03
[08/Apr/2008:03:23:29] failure ( 835): Configuration initialization failed: Error running init function load-modules: dlopen of /usr/iplanet/servers/bin/https/lib/libNSServletPlugin.so failed (ld.so.1: ns-httpd: fatal: libjvm.so: open failed: No such file or directory)
would appreciate any help.
thanks :)

hi mv,
tried your suggestion of installing sun webserver7 but i got an error, something like "can't use sparcv9.so" (too bad i didn't copy the entire error before uninstalling). may have something to do with patches for solaris8. unfortunately, i don't have access to the patches since my support for the hardware ended many years ago.
was able to get 108434-18 but not 108435-18 which needs an active support account.
