installing and running WAS 6.1 express on iseries with 5.4

["tim" <tim2006@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have installed WAS 6.1 on my iseries using the GUI installer on DVD. 

 

Server info is located in 

\qibm\proddata\WebSphere\AppServer\V61\Express. 

 

The features are:

5733W61   V6R1M0      WebSphere Application Server V6.1 for i5/OS    

5733W61   V6R1M0      WebSphere Application Server V6.1 Express      

 

 

I executed IPTEST from the BIN directory and it worked. 

 

When I tried to start the server using \bin\startserver, I got the message
"no default profile exists"

 

I ran "manageprofiles -create" to create a profile and get the following
message:

            INSTCONFFAILED: The profile could not be created.  For more
information, consult the
/QIBM/UserData/WebSphere/AppServer/V61/Express/profileRegistry/logs/managepr
ofiles/AppSrv03_create.log file.                                      

 

I've looked through the XML log file. The first WARNING level states:

 

<record>

  <millis>1193668147829</millis>

The first SEVERE level states:

  <thread>10</thread>

  <message>ConfigManager action execution failed on a fatal action</message>

Im not sure where to go from here. Any suggestions would be great.
