Good afternoon,

I am having trouble setting up a new environment I created on a server and suspect my configuration of Weblogic / PIA is incorrect as I have an existing PeopleSoft 8.0 (PeopleTools 8.22.0.2) environment on the same server; I want to have 4 when I am done. I am running Weblogic 8.1 and am new to Weblogic.

My first environment is running fine, lets call it DEV1. I create a second environment DEV2, install PIA using a new domain name, new website name and other available ports to avoid conflict.

When I try to open the URL for DEV2 I am given a message inside the browser saying "Can't open configuration properties".

My Spidey sense tells me that the configuration for Weblogic or PIA has to be done a certain way if you want to run multiple instances on the same server at the same time but am not sure how to do it. I have been looking around all day online and have found nothing. Oracle has made a mess of my companies Metalink account and am waiting for them to fix it.

Any thoughts?

This shouldn't be that big of a deal. There are a couple of ways to do it. My preferred approach is to clone the PS_HOME directory of DEV1 over to DEV2, then create the DEV2 app server domain using different ports, delete everything under the $PS_HOME/webserv directory and install a fresh PIA domain using mpinternet. If you're getting an error like "Can't open configuration.properties" it probably means mpinternet didn't deploy to your web server correctly. Oh yeah, don't forget to edit your configuration.properties to make sure it's pointing to the correct app server domain.

The other way to do it would be to create another app server domain under your existing PS_HOME and use mpinternet to create another PIA under the existing webserv directory.

Anyway I think you're on the right track. You should be able to get this to work.

Thanks Brent, I was doing the exact same steps as you only I was not deleting the contents of Webserv; good to know my thinking is right.

I started to backtrack and connected to the default Weblogic page when it hit me...I wasn't using the port number in my URL thus my link was taking me to DEV1 looking for the files for DEV2 which is wrong. I have added my port number to DEV2 into my URL and all is well!

Thanks for the help!

Cheers,

Scott
