Weblogic server startup problem

Hello all,

I have been having a problem with Weblogic 8.1.

Twice in a week, I would start an admin and managed server and what would happen is that the managed server will not startup. I would click the it's startup .cmd file and it would pop up and then dissapear. This was my primary problem.

In one case the admin server terminal would show up but I would go to the admin console and it would not appear, hence the admin server could not start up.

What I would like to know is why when we click a startup .cmd file, the terminal would pop up and disappear and why servers don't start up in general? What areas should we look into?

Any input is welcome.

Can you run the cmd in a DOS window instead? The problem I have with the click method is what you're saying - if it exits then the window is gone and you can't see if there where any error messages.
