I just installed the PTF to 5.02 and I am receiving this error when
attempting to open the main portal. HAs anyone seen this before?

TIA

these are usually caused by a disconnect to the backend db..

debug:
Is db2/oracle up
can you query the dbs wps/etc...
open WAS admin counsole check jdbc connections to the databases

Yes. That was the issue. I found that the DB2 Fix pack modified the service
name in the services file. Once I modified the svcename and services files
to match I was able to open the portal.

Hi Lou,

I am getting a similar error:
I installed and uninstalled e-fixes for Portal Server 5.0 Express
on Websphere Application Server 5.0.1.
The e-fixes for FixPack2.
I restarted the Portal Server and WebSphere Application Server and
it gave me the following error on the screen:
