RAD does not start

Description: RAD does not startup. I came across the problem with RAD 7.0. You get a popup screen showing something like this.

-vmC:\RAD70SDP\jdk\jre\bin\javaw.exe

-vmargs

-Xquickstart

-Xms40m

-Xmx768m

-Xgcpolicy:gencon

-Xscmx96m

-Xshareclasses:singleJVM,keep

-Xnolinenumbers

-XX:MaxPermSize=512M

Reason: Not sure. Might be with initialisation.

Solution: Open the eclipse.ini file located in the RAD installation directory. just delete all the contents of the file. Save the file and try to open RAD again.

WARNING: Keep a backup of the eclipse.ini file. [Just in case my fix fails :D]

CREATE_LISTENER_FAILED_4

Description: This is often encountered when you try to start your server (WAS). It is typically seen with RAD6.0. I never came across the problem with RAD 7.0.

Reason: Occurs when the server process related to a particular server instance is not terminated and you try to start the same server. So the applications running on the ports give a problem because the port is already occupied.

Solution: Go to task manager, and end the process in the name java.exe.

WARNING: If you have multiple servers running, you might risk ending some other server process.
