Doesn´t run (Windows 2000, JDK6)

[majiy]

Hello,

I am a complete newbie with JBoss.

I successfully installed the Application Server on a Linux System, but I fail to get it started under Windows 2000 (Service Pack 4).

I installed jboss-4.2.3.GA for JDK 6 (which is installed on the system).

JAVA_HOME and JBOSS_HOME are set correctly.

When I run the run.bat I do not get any message (no error, no "started in x seconds").

Connection to http://localhost:8080 fails. No other program does use this port.

It seems that even the server.log file (which was mentioned in the docs) is not created.

Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be, or can someone point me to a documentation, where I could find a solution? I´m a bit helpless right now, due to the lack of error messages...

Thanks in advance.

From the command prompt, post the output of

echo %JAVA_HOME%

JAVA_HOME should point to parent directory of the bin folder. In your case JAVA_HOME should be set to

C:\Programme\Java\jdk1.6.0_07\

I now changed JAVA_HOME (now points to "C:\Programme\Java\jdk1.6.0_07"), but it´s still the same. No output, no connection to localhost:8080.

Do this:

- Open the run.bat in a text editor
- Remove the first line which contains @echo off. Save the file
- Go to command prompt and run the run.bat
- Post the output here.

If the error is related to 'findstr' then have a look at http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/FindstrCommandNotFound

This seems to have been the problem.

I out-commented the following two lines:

"%JAVA%" -server -version 2>&1 | findstr /I hotspot > nul
if not errorlevel == 1 (set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -server)

and replaced them with the following line

set JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -server

Now it works properly. Thanks a lot :)

But I´m still slightly confused how it doesn´t seem to find the "findstr.exe". It is placed inside the "WINNT\System32\" directory, which is included in the PATH environmental variable.
