Unable to start JBOSS server

Hi Everyone,

This is my first time installing and using JBoss.

I tried to start jboss via the cmd promp, but I am getting the following erors:

_____________________________________________________________
C:\Program Files\jboss-4.0.5.GA\bin>run.bat
JAVA_HOME is not set. Unexpected results may occur.
Set JAVA_HOME to the directory of your local JDK to avoid this message.

I have JDK and JRE 1.5.0_10 installed and I am stuck.

Can someone please help me?


Much appreciated,

By the way, I am installed JBOSS 4.0.5.GA and I used the java -jar jems-installer-1.2.0.CR1.jar to install it.

Thanks,

Jeff

You need to set JAVA_HOME to the directory where you installed the JDK (not the JRE!). For example:

set JAVA_HOME=c:\jdk1.5.0_09

Or you can set it in the My Computer properties dialog.

By the way, safe yourself some grief and move JBoss and the JDK out of Program Files. Spaces in directory names gives some Java code fits.

By the way, you can leave the JRE in Program Files. You will rarely use it anyway.
