java.io.FileNotFoundException: /WEB-INF/PortalServlet.propertiesMost problems starting up are related to missing information in the PortalServlet.properties file. If this is the second server you are installing into the same eDirectory tree, please copy the PortalServlet.properties file from another server to remedy the problem (making sure to update IP addresses of settings to match the new server such as the Custom_Backend_Renderer_Portal_Location setting). The PortalServlet.properties file is generally found in webapps/nps/WEB-INF of your web servlet directory.
Resolution
To fix the problem rename the iMan202_#.npm file in the packages directory (SYS:\TOMCAT\4\WEBAPPS\NPS\PACKAGES and SYS:\TOMCAT\4\NPS_2.02) to iMan202_#.npm.bak and then re-run the iManager 2.5 install. This will force it not to install the 202 field patch npm.
To prevent the problem prior to upgrading from iManager 2.02 to 2.5 check for and remove the iman202_#.npm file(s) from the packages directory. Then proceed with the upgrade.

Additional Information
The iManager field patch update had been previously applied to iManager 2.0.2. During the upgrade we copy the existing npm's to sys:tomcat\4\nps_2.02. After the upgrade we copy the old npm's not upgraded back but are supposed to exclude any field patch updates. Instead the upgrade is copying back the iMan202_#.npm and installing it (# = patch version number). This will break the 2.5 installation.
