Cannot start WebSphere 6 server [message #160027]

I'm not able to start/debug using WebSphere 6 server. I have successfully
started Tomcat 5.5 on the same web application.

When I try to start the server, an error dialog prompts: Server IBM
WebSphere 6 failed to start. There are no other error messages in the
logs. Where can I find more information about why the server failed to
start?

I also made sure that I'm using the JRE that's bundled in WebSphere.

Thanks for any information that can help me get WebSphere 6 up and running.

Did you look at the WebSphere log? It will usually tell you in overwhelming
detail what went wrong.

Thanks for the tip. There is nothing is the WebSphere logs.

I started the server in debug mode, and got the following error:

Java Virtual Machine Launcher: Could not find the main class. Program
will exit.

Which is probably the case because the error returned very quickly. I
guess my issue is that main class is not found. Any other suggestions?

I'm using the default profile in the trial WebSphere Application Server
v6.0 download. Should I have created/modified my profile?

I would go into preferences and verify the location of the runtime
defined or open the server editor and edit the launch configuration
ensuring that locations defined in there are correct.
