GateIn Portal does not come up

[dorothy]

Hi

I have downloaded GateIn-3.0.0-GA-jbossas. Previously I had JBoss 4.3 installed on my machine. When I execute the run.bat file of GateIn, i continue to get JBoss 4.3 although I have modified all classpath entries. Could anyone please suggest how to get the gatein poral up and running? Attached are the messages I get when run.bat file is executed. I am running on a WINDOWS xp machine and java v6 update 19

It's because your JBOSS_HOME environment variable still points to 4.3

[dorothy]

No, as I mentioned I have changed all my environment variables. JBOSS_HOME points to GateIn only

Ah I missed the stacktrace:

12:33:42,250 ERROR [Naming] Could not start on port 1099

java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind

You have 2 JBoss AS running on the same box, you can't do that unless you map all ports to different ones, see http://community.jboss.org/wiki/ConfiguringMultipleJBossInstancesOnOnemachine

[dorothy]

I was reading another discussion on jboss forum that mentioned that MSOffice & Communicator will take up teh 1099 port, so we need to exit these and then start jboss. I did that but still my Gatein portal does not start but the stack trace that I get is different. Please find attached. further, I do not want to configure multiple instances of jboss. I just want the Gatein portal to be up on my machine.

Thanks

And you just unzipped and ran run.bat ?

You are missing a file which is zipped in the package, quiet weird.

You should also have a file:

$GATEIN_HOME/server/default/conf/gatein/configuration.properties

the "gatein" name here is defined in run.conf.bat (last line)

set "JAVA_OPTS=%JAVA_OPTS% -Dexo.conf.dir.name=gatein"

[theute]

You should also try to remove the space in the path:

E:/SoftwareLib/Portal%20Servers

[dorothy]

Yeah, I unzipped and ran run.bat. But there are no zipped files left in the package . The run.conf file has teh JAVA_OPTS set as below:

# GateIn configuration directory
JAVA_OPTS="$JAVA_OPTS -Dexo.conf.dir.name=gatein"

I also have a $GATEIN_HOME/server/default/conf/gatein/configuration.properties file.

I'll remove the space from 'Portal Servers' and post back

It happens often that 1099 will be taken by a client socket of one of the applications - typically Internet Explorer.

To address this problem open C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\services file as an Administrator (Windows Start, type 'notepad', hover mouse over found Notepad icon, press Shift + Right mouse click, and select 'Run as administrator', then File/Open and copy C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\services into File name field)

Insert the following line into appropriate place (entries are ordered by port):

jboss-jndi       1099/tcp

Save.

From now on windows will avoid assigning this port to client sockets.

Hey Thanks, That worked...i made this entry 

jboss-jndi       1099/tcp

in the services file and my portal server is up now. Thanks a lot
