JBoss 3.2.7

[straza]

hi,

where to put jdk for jboss on a redhat linux 9 machine?

i am not familiar with linux, therefore, this problem arises. i installed the j2sdk 1.4.2 on this machine and the setup didnt ask for install location. but i found the jdk in /usr/java/j2sdk1.4.2_08. i made a JAVA_HOME variable in /etc/profile. i put the jboss in /usr/jboss/jboss-3.2.7.

when i entered this command echo $JAVA_HOME it gives correct path. i ran run.sh but it says the JAVA_HOME path does not point to jdk. after this i entered the echo command. but this time it returns empty string.

if this makes sense to you then please answer this, as it is not making any sense to me.

hi,

i actually didnt restart the machine but logged it off. the problem was, i was doing it through VNC. i logged off the machine which didnt kill the session with my machine.

after it logged on, i again started using it from my machine and this amazing this happened. when i hit echo command from my machine, result differ from that of when i hit this command from that machine.

now the server works fine when i restarted the machine even on the VNC :)

may be this because i am using windows on my machine.

No it is probably because the contents in '/etc/profile' are not processed until you start a new session - you probably had a combination of new and old sessions running which was why you were getting wierd results.
