Error while starting JBoss

Hi All,
I am getting following error while starting jboss-5.0.0.GA server on Mac OSX 10.5.6:

11:52:17,844 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Start: name=WebServer state=Create

I tried with jboss-4.2.3.GA and jboss-4.2.2.GA also but getting the similar error related to catalina property:

Can someone please help me to fix this issue. Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

I suspect that you have a stray catalina.jar file in your classpath, possibly from an installation of Tomcat. Try adding the "-verbose:class" JVM option to the JAVA_OPTS - this option will print out the location of the JAR file for each class loaded. This will help to determine if you do have a stray jar file somewhere.

I don't have a Mac, so I do not know how env vars are set there, but on Windows and Linux I do NOT set a CLASSPATh environment variable. I find that doing so causes more problems than it solves.

Thanks Peter for your suggestion. There was catalina.jar file present in /Library/Java/Extension (Mac OSX path for Java) which was creating problem. I removed it and it works fine.

Thanks again for the idea.
