Unable to Start Weblogic Admin Server

Question

I am working on Windows environment with Weblogic 8.1 sp3
when I start the admin from windows services the service shows as started but not able to get to console and also I tried starting the admin server from the command line it just stays here...
<Sep 27, 2005 1:48:12 PM CDT> <Notice> <Log Management> <BEA-170019> <The server log file
:\Projects\Domains\Broadlane\AdminServer\AdminServer.log is opened. All server side log events will be written to this file.>
And also I enabled Verbose to see if it gives more info...but trying to load tons of files and hangs at some place

and at this place just stays here with out going further, It is really frustrating me, because it doesnt throw any exceptions, I cleaned up everything in config.xml file just to start with basic with out any applications and database configurations in it, but it didnt helped me either
Appreciate any help!
Thanks in advance

Hi hrushi,
i'm not refering to the Weblogic console but your physical server console. You already did most of the tasks.
Please do the steps below:
1) Logon to your server Solaris console
2) Get the PID of your Admin server Java process ex: ps -ef | grep java
3) Execute the following command: kill -3 <pid>
4) This will generate a Thread Dump within your Admin server startup log (normally nohup.out)
5) Extract the Thread Dump and look at the Thread Stack Trace of the Weblogic start-up Thread
6) The thread name you are looking or is: "Main Thread"
7) Update this post with Stack Trace of the "Main Thread"
