500 error when trying to hit the jmx-console

[johnwyp]

I have JBOSS_CLASSPATH set to x:\jboss\lib and JBOSS_HOME set to x:\jboss.

Trying to check the install at http://localhost:8080/jmx-console and I get a 500 error in the browser and a NoClassDefFoundError in the console. I've no idea what env vars need to be set...and I suspect that is my problems.

Here's the error in the log:

set JAVA_HOME to JDK dir

[mikebach]

I have just installed jBoss Tomcat. I have had no problems previously installing Apache2/Tomcat4/J2K and many previous variants. Searching through the forums found the problem. The "present working directory" should not be the JBOSS_HOME but should be JBOSS_HOME/bin .. for run.bat (on my Win XP dev machine)... if it was in the documentation I missed it. The scripts and command files are relative to the JBOSS_HOME/bin directory....

After this small change all Java classes are found and
http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/index.jsp worked fine.

As a newbie to jBoss it may be some other deep problem....but this worked for me.
