Installation Under Windows Server

[johnloo1]

I am attempting to install JBoss 4.2.2 GA under Windows Server 2003, with the latest service packs. The box currently has IIS 6.0 installed, and is serving a website at port 80. ASP .NET 1.1 is installed on this box as well.

I am following the instructions in the JBoss Installation guide. I installed the JDK using jdk-1_5_0_15-windows-i586-p.exe, downloaded from the Sun Java site. After installing Java, I unzipped the JBoss installation file, and copied everything into

c:\Program Files\jboss-4.2.2

I added an environment variable JAVA_HOME, and pointed it to:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_15

I also added this to the PATH:

C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_15\jre\bin

I opened a Command Prompt window, changed directories to:

C:\Program Files\jboss-4.2.2\bin

and executed run.bat.

The following message/errors appeared:

I'm assuming I did something silly or overlooked something. Can anyone provide some direction on how to fix this?

Thanks!

Try moving jbossas out of Program Files. Spaces in path names tend to give some Java libraries fits. I have mine at c:\apps\jboss-4.2.2.

If that does not work, also move the JDK out of Porgram Files. You do not have ot re-install it - just move the directory. Mine is at c:\apps\jdk1.5.0_015

I tried this, same message. Do I need to have a catalina_home environment variable set?

Do I need any other package installed, like Tomcat?
