wli7.0sp1 startup problem.. another one

[Mandar Gandhe]

Hi..
This is another problem I am facing while wli7.0sp1 startup. When I try to RESTART the server, it fails giving the following exception.
----------
<Jan 3, 2003 1:48:22 PM GMT> <Critical> <WebLogicServer> <000364> <Server failed during initialization. Exception:weblogic.server.ServiceFailureException: Could not get exclusive access to embedded LDAP data files due to existing server

----------
the ldapfiles are located inside <domain>/<domain-name>/ldap/ directory.
If I rename or remove the <domain-name> directory, the servers starts properly, but gives the same problem when attempted a restart.
Can someone provide me a help on this ?
Thank you in advance

Hi,
To be frank I have no idea about the answer to the problem but I think that the LDAP connection is not being dropped after the server start and stop after the first time.
How do you stop your server. Is it the proper way. How is the LDAP connection get closed after the server stop. Can you close the LDAP connection in a configured shutdown class.
