WAS 3.5.4 startupServer fails on AIX 4.3.3

I haven't seen this, but it looks like maybe the userid you are using to
talk to DB2 is not a valid userid on your system.

Hi,

 

I installed WebSphere 3.5.4 on AIX 4.3.3. The installation finished without error and "was" database was successfully created. However, the "startupServer.sh" failed and the following exception was logged in the tracefile:

I followed the install instruction published by IBM (http://www-4.ibm.com/software/webservers/appserv/doc/v35/ae/infocenter/was/aix_adv_ihs_db2.pdf). The only deviation is that I did not create the database instance in the default directory(/home/db2inst1) due to the disk space limitation. However, I can still successfully connect to the "was" database by executing "db2 connect to was" command.

 

Here is what were installed on AIX:

    DB2 6.1 and fixpack 9

    IBM HTTP Server 1.3.12

    WebSphere 3.5 and fixpack 4

    OS: AIX 4.3.3.0

 

I found a post about the same problem in the newsgroup, unfortunately there is no answer for it ... Please let me know if you have any idea about this problem. Any input is great appreciated!

 

Thanks!
