Question
Winchill method server and server manager won't start after reboot
All,
After successfully installing Pro/Intralink 9.1 M060 on a RHEL 4 server, everything was working fine, and I was able to startup and shutdown oracle and all the WC & related services. I created a couple of scripts; one that would start/stop all services and another that would run the first script on system bootup (see below). I have made NO changes to any of the WC setup at this point, so all the conf and properties files are OOTB. The problem occurred after I rebooted the server. I was able to watch all the services start, however, the method server and server manager showed up in the process list, but quickly disappeared. No method server or server manager log files are created. At first I thought that the issue may be related to the xterm windows not being able to open because during bootup there isn't an interactive shell running, but I have removed the WC bootup scripts from the system, rebooted, and the services still won't start. Again with no logs created. Oracle, Tomcat, Apache and WindchillDS all start and stop without issue w/ no obvious issues in any of the log files.
I have a call open to PTC, but don't have a resolution as of yet.
Any suggestions?
