Error 503: Failed to load target servlet [portal]

[bonebonde]

Hi,
I have installed WebSphere Portal 5.0 in my machine.
The portal worked well until when I migrated from the
CloudScape database to MS SQL Server2000 database.After
this when I start the Portal Server normally I get the
error "Error 503: Failed to load target servlet [portal]", which I was not getting before changing the database.

The only way I can get into the portal is through adding
admin on the url.I would like to be able to use the portal
as before.

Could anyone out there please help.

Thanks.

Hey,
If you havnt solved you problem yet, check if you MS SQl server is started, if not turn it on! Once its up, bounce you portal server. And see it all work.

If you are you SQL server is up then, restart it and restart portal server and see what happens.

Hope this help!!
