Running run.bat produces no output.

[tdemuth]

After copying the files of JBoss 4.2.1GA on my computer, I tried to run run.bat, which produces no output. I cannot find any jboss-*-process in my taskmanager also. So: What happens?

I have set a JAVA_HOME environment variable, but I have got two other JDKs installed (I have 1.4.2, 1.5 and 1.6, because I need them for development - 1.6 is the system's default). Does JBoss using simply the wrong JDK?

I'm not familiar with JEE or Application-Servers, because I'm a student and trying to learn something about it - so, could anybody please help?

Using Win XP Professional, JBoss 4.2.1GA.

kind regards
Tobias

hello,

i don't run jboss under windows - but you should have a log file.

try looking for a server.log and boot.log file in your

$JBOSS_HOME/server/default/log directory

you may wish to review and or post any error messages that are showing up in these two logs

thx

What is JAVA_HOME set to? Make sure it is set to a 1.5 JDK. Also, where did you install the JDK? Hopefully not in "Program Files".

See the discussion at http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=96582

and http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=91124

Try running

" run -b <your ip address>" from your console

e.g. run -b 111.222.44.33

It binds JBoss Server with your IP.

Thanks for all of your advices and suggestions, but I was able to solve the problem. I had to set the JAVA_HOME-variable to JDK 1.6, the system's default. I had tried before with JAVA_HOME set to 1.5, because everybody said, that JBoss under 1.6 isn't tested, but see above that doesn't work if your system's default is set to another JDK.

P.S.: PeterJ: Thank god, I'm running a German Windows, where "Program Files" is localized to "Programme" - No whitespace-issues in pathnames ;)!
