WAS 6 Server does not start because of service error.

"Because server1 is registered to run as a Windows Service, the request to start this server will be completed by starting the associated Windows Service"

Hi guys, I came across this annoying error which would not go away no matter how many I restart the websphere 6 server. Finally after some research I found a very simple solution - delete the server*.pid files in server log folder. If you are not sure where your log files are here is where

C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\SDP\6.0\runtimes\base_v6\profiles\MyServer\logs\server1

After deleting the pid files, restart the server and the error should go away. Good luck.
