IMW0438E message issued and WebSphere Application Server does not start
 Technote (FAQ)
 
Problem
WebSphere® Application Server does not start and the following message is issued to the -vv (very verbose) trace if it is enabled. You will see the following in the -vv trace:
IMW0438E Serverinit Error: server did not load functions from DLL module /usr/lpp/WebSphere/WebServerPlugIn/bin/was400plugin.so.
 
Cause
Missing a Language Environment (LE) parameter in the IBM® HTTP Server startup procedure
 
Solution
When this occurs, it is usually because of an incorrect setting in the HTTP Server startup procedure. The problem can be resolved by adding the LE parameter THREADSTACK to the Web server startup procedure. The proper coding of this parameter is:

THREADSTACK(OFF)
