Weblogic notes
Posted by mtwinkle on May 19, 2006
1. When I start the weblogic server, I get the following error
weblogic.server.ServiceFailureException: Could not obtain an exclusive lock to the embedded LDAP data files directory: .\decisionsite81\ldap\ldapfiles because another WebLogic Server is already using this directory. Ensure that the first WebLogic Server is completely shutdown and restart the server.
Notes: This error can be fixed by deleting the EmbeddedLDAP.lok file in the ./domain/ldap/ldapfiles directory.

…deleting EmbeddedLDAP.lok doesn’t always solve the problem. I delete it, restart my server, and the EmbeddedLDAP.lok keeps reappearing, and showing the same locking condition in the logs. So if it appears there is a lock somewhere. Yes, make sure all web server instances are shutdown properly. But I don’t know what to do if the locking condition won’t go away. I’m about to do a boot of the server box itself.
