HTTP server won't start - java error

HCL Domino Domino Forum

After the upgrade to 8.5.1 (from 8.0.2), one of our server’s HTTP task won’t load. The error is:

load http

30/10/2009 15:13:58 HTTP Server: Using Web Configuration View

30/10/2009 15:14:01 HTTP JVM: JVMJ9VM015W Initialization error for library j9gc24(2): Failed to instantiate heap; 256M requested

30/10/2009 15:14:01 JVM: The Java Virtual Machine creation returned an invalid JVM machine pointer.

30/10/2009 15:14:01 HTTP Server: JVM: Missing entrypoint in JVM runtime library.

30/10/2009 15:14:02 HTTP Server: Shutdown

Can anyone shed any light on this? A search only gives me websphere errors that are similar

Thanks

We had similar problem when upgrading from 7.0.3FP1 to 8.5.1FP2 - HTTP Server: Using Web Configuration View

Solution from IBM which worked for us was:-

It’s possible that the server’s Notes.ini has an obsolete parameter that is not used correctly:

mem_enableprealloc=1

To resolve the issue the parameter:

mem_enableprealloc=1

should be removed from the Notes.ini and the HTTP task be restarted.

(needed to restart server after change to notes.ini).

Subject: entry not in Notes.ini

That didn’t seem to do it. I found a suggesiton and tried renaming the JVM directory under Lotus\Domino and reloaded 8.5.2. I got JVM to load, but then started getting all kinds of web errors that I wasn’t getting on the same database on 8.5.1. Something is definitely not kosher here…

Subject: Some tips and things to check…

Hi Dan,

Same error was encountered be one of our customers after trying to install Traveler, which opened up a whole can of worms. Check some of the suggestions in THIS THREAD to see if they are applicable to you.

Note: Ignore the Traveler specific stuff if that doesn’t apply to your environment.

…for the reply, although Traveller isn’t installed at all. The only non-traveller thing I could see was the notes.ini settings, which are correct in my setup

Subject: No HTTP

I installed the trial Domino 8.5.1 and HTTP was working perfectly. I then reinstalled using the licensed version and I’m getting this JVM:Missing Entrypoint in JVM Runtime Library

JVM: The runtime library cannot be found

JVM: The virtual machine failed to start

http Server:Missing entrypoint

http server: shutdown

Yikes! Should I reinstall Java or what’s up here? Any ideas?

Subject: Work around on Win 7

Found this solution which works:at console type

Set Config HTTPDisableJVM=1

Load HTTP

But I think I just disabled the java vitrual machine, right? So it’s not really a permanent solution.

Subject: DO I need JVM?

I’m trying (unsuccessfully) to get XPages tutorials going. After typing into the server console:

Set Config HTTPDisableJVM=1

Load HTTP

when I check for JVM it is not running

"The JVM virtual machine could not be found

Java Virtual Machine Filaed to Start"

So now when I attempt to run the most basic tutorials XPage using IE instead of getting a screen I get the XML source. Does this mean the JVM isn’t running? If not, any suggestions?

Subject: No soluton found to JVM pointrer for 8.5.2

I’m at my wit’s end. I have a requirement to upgrade my Windows 7 server from 8.5.1 to 8.5.2 but can’t get HTTP running on 8.5.2. The plain vanilla 8.5.2 install can’t find the JVM Virtual machine (missing entry point in JVM runtime library). Anyone have a fix for this?
