first deployment problems

[maddogmooney]

newbie warning: i've been going through the docs and example webapp for a while now, and i've held off on other questions to rtfm... but i can't figure this one out as it seems to be different in the latest version compared to the getting started wiki.

i've created a reasonably simple process as my first process outside of the example webapp. when i try to deploy, i get the following error in the server log:

org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: url file:/D:/chris/jbpm-starters-kit-3.1.2/jbpm-starters-kit-3.1.2/jbpm-server/server/default/conf/jboss-service.xml could not be opened, does it exist?

There is however a file with this name in ...jbpm-server/server/jbpm/conf ... do i need to copy or customise something to get this working?

Also, there is an error in the eclipse log where an IOException is raised because the server returns a 500. I'm not sure which issue is dependent on the other, but I have a feeling if I fix the config files, then the 500 error will go away also.

Thanks in advance for your help and apologies if I have re-raised an issue or asked this in the wrong place.

Cheers,

Chris

Sounds to me like you didn't start your server properly. You need to specify the -c option, like this: run.bat -c jbpm. If you are using the starter's kit, I'm under the impression that it comes with a start script (for Windows at least) that will do that for you.

Yeah I've been using the startup script all along. I just reinstalled and was able to modify the default simple process and deploy it. Either I had something corrupted, or my first basic process wasn't so basic and I had created an error in the XML. Thanks for your response. Much appreciated.
