Make sure you can be able to read the file before starting the iPlanet.

$cat /opt/server4/userdb/dbswitch.conf

if it says permission denied, you need to fix the permissions.

Make sure you check the directory leading into the position AND verify what user the webserver is trying to run as. By default iplanet wants to use a different account (in the web configuration files) so verify that account has access to the file. Basically you may run the startup script as root, but the webserver does a setuid and runs as something else (at least it should be)

The user is owww, so this user have permisions on file /opt/server4/userdb/dbswitch.conf.

hi,
what is the permissions and ownership of /opt/server4/userdb/ directory ?.
check whether the user owww has been properly
added in the system /etc/passwd , /etc/group).
If needed login as owww and recreate that directory and config file.
