Weblogic Managed server status struck in STARTING

We faced the issue while starting the weblogic managed server, the status of the server struck in STARTING.

W could not able to find a valid error messages in the log files

Managed Server Log File:

<30-Oct-2013 11:13:29 o'clock GMT> <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000365> <Server state changed to STARTING> 

No logs are getting printed after this.

Node Manager Log File:


<30-Oct-2013 11:09:44> <INFO> <SOACoreDomain> <MS1> <Server failed during startup so will not be restarted>

The root cause of this issue is somehow the ldap directory of the server got corrupted.

To resolve this issue:

  •  Kill the managed server 
  •  Remove the ldap folder from the following location  <<DOMAIN_HOME>>/servers/<<Managed Server>>, this file will be auto generated while restarting the server.
  • Restart the server
