Does it say any more than that in the error? If not, if I had to guess, one of those extension files is missing.

Try commenting out all the zones but one and make sure that file is available in the ext folder or java ext folder.

Also, have you edited the file any? If so, overwrite it with a virgin copy.

Hi,
I fixed the problem....

The problem was my other java services(wrapper.exe) is not letting me to run which was starting in my start up.
So i just stoped my java services (wrapper.exe) from my startup.

It starts working properly
