Portal 6.5 startup problem

Hello,

I’m a portal developer novice. Recently, everytime I try to boot the portal instance, logs aren’t created. So, I executed the startup script with a nohup.out. I noticed this error:

PARAMS: -s tmsaPortal run

Shutting down Portal…

Last week, I had the same problem with IS startup :p: and it was resolved today :D… I had to delete a .cnf file!

I wonder if I should do the same for this case. Thanks for help!

FYI:
OS: aix 5.3
JVM: IBM 1.4

I have the same problem.
Did you sort it out?
