Problem with Jboss startup

[aamirsyed]

when I try to start Jboss 4.2.1 by giving the command at the prompt I get the following
error

[root@berlin bin]# ./jboss_init_redhat.sh
JBOSS_CMD_START = cd /usr/local/jboss-4.2.1.GA-src/bin; /usr/local/jboss-4.2.1.GA-src/bin/run.s h -c default
usage: ./jboss_init_redhat.sh (start|stop|restart|help)
[root@berlin bin]# ./jboss_init_redhat.sh
JBOSS_CMD_START = cd /usr/local/jboss-4.2.1.GA-src/bin; /usr/local/jboss-4.2.1.GA-src/server/sr c/jboss_init_redhat.sh -c default
usage: ./jboss_init_redhat.sh (start|stop|restart|help)

Thanks in advance for any help

The jboss_init_redhat.sh script is for use if you want to set it up to run as a service (edit it, then copy to /etc/init.d). To run the app server by hand, use the run.sh script.

Thank you Peter,
Maybe my installation was not correct, but please let me know where is the run.sh located.

[peterj]

run.sh is in the bin directory, same place where jboss_init_redhat.sh is.

I reinstalled JBoss 4.2.1. but when I ran the run.sh script in /system/src/bin i got a message "missing file /system/src/bin/run.jar "
Thanks in advance for any help

I think that you downloaded the source files, not the binary files. The binary comes as a ZIP file (the TAR.GZ is the source).

Thanks again Peter I was abel to get to bin.I also downloaded jdk1.6.0_02 and set it in JAVA_HOME variable but when I ran the run.sh script I got this error

You have JAVA_HOME set to the 1.4.2 JDK, JBoss AS 4.2.1 needs a 1.5 or higher JDK.

By the way, I recommend that you use the 1.5 JDK and not the 1.6 that you downloaded.

Thank you Peter ,
My JBoss Application Server is up and running! However the JAVA_HOME variable had also to be changed in /etc/profile for the change to completely take place.
