Websphere Clustering Problem

[Steve Grant]

Hi,

I was trying with the clustering in WAS . But my IBM HttpServer is giving problem when I try to start it. Following is the scenario which I have followed
1. I have installed WAS 5 and its fix pack on my machine
2. I have installed ND and its fix pack on my machine
3. After this I started the WAS server "server1" on my machine
4. Then I started the ND server on my machine
5. After this I had added the node from ND admin screen which is successfully done.
6. Now after the previous step a plugin.xml is generated in the ND_ROOT/config/cells dir.( I also updated the plugin.xml)
7. Now in the http.conf of IHS I gave the above path for plugin.xml
8. Now when I try to start the IHS it gives the following OS level error
"Application popup: Apache.exe - Application Error : The instruction at "0x00abc30e" referenced memory at "0x00000005". The memory could not be "written". "
9. All the above steps are carried out on a single machine
10. I am not getting why my IHS is giving problem while starting. Even the IHS logs are not showing any errors. The above error (Apache.exe ) is a system level OS error

Please give your advice on this

Thx,
Steve
