Unable to start WebSphere Portal server
 Technote (troubleshooting)
 
Problem(Abstract)
Unable to start IBM® WebSphere® Application Server. No trace.log is generated when starting server with *=all=enabled trace string. Nothing is written to SystemOut.log or SystemErr.log, no FFDC files are written.

To debug further the following was done:

This will generate a start_WebSphere_Portal.sh script into bin directory. What it does is it will bypass startServer.sh launcher and will start the server directly .
1 /websphere/StagePortal/bin>startServer.sh WebSphere_Portal -script

2 Start the server using following command:
/websphere/StagePortal/bin>start_WebSphere_Portal.sh

Starting the server as stated above generated a core file.
 
Cause
The Java® classpath had been modified to have wily_agent jar files which had problems.
 
Resolving the problem
Remove wily_agent jars from application server classpath.
