 This problem may happen because i changed some server configurations when server running and made a corruption if file replicas.prop in the server .

Solution  : Remove this corrupted file , and let Weblogic auto generate this file again when server restart .


1- Open your server which  weblogic installed.

2- go to this path 

$<YourDomain>/servers/AdminServer/data/ldap/conf

3- rename this file replicas.prop to old-replicas.prop 


4- restart  Weblogic server .


5- Smile every thing is Okay now ....
