Unable to start managed server in Weblogic 7

[Sandeep Pandita]

Hello Friends

I installed Weblogic 7 and created a domain using the "WLS Domain" Template.
After starting the admin server and the node manager , i configured a new server using the admin console and while trying to start the server , i get the following error .



weblogic.nodemanager.NodeManagerException: [Could not execute command start for server server1 via the Node Manager - reason: [CommandInvoker: Failed to send command: 'online to server 'server1' to NodeManager at host: 'localhost:5555' with exception Write Channel Closed, possible SSL handshaking or trust failure. Please ensure that the NodeManager is active on the target machine].]

Can anyone tell me what all is required to Start a Managed server using the
Node Manager.


Thanks
