Hi folks

I am new in Business Rule and looking help to install Jboss AS and Guvnor. Today is my 5th day trying but I failed to install Guvnor. Is there any expert who can give me screen shots as well as step by step instruction to set up BRMS (Guvnor) in Windows 7 environment? I tried every steps / blogs in showed up in Google.

My problems is when I run run.bat, it doesn't works. Just stay as it is. I hardly able to install Application Server following this link http://www.wowtutorial.org/tutorial/38.html but failed to load Guvnor. I am not familiar with linux therefore I need help installing in Windows 7 64 bit.

Hi G,

1. It doesn't matter what hardware you are on, as long as you can install Java on it. Use the latest JDK 1.6.

2. You can download a bundle from: http://download.jboss.org/drools/release/5.1.1.34858.FINAL/drools-5.1.1-guvnor-standalone.zip
"Standalone Guvnor with JBoss AS" then all you have to do is unzip that, and start it using the bin/run.bat. This will start up jboss; you should see a java process in your task manager, and you can see logging in server/default/log/server.log.

3. Now you can open your browser to http://localhost:8080/drools-guvnor

Good luck!

Hi Kurt
Thank you for your kind respose. I did it almost 5 times. when I click run.bat, it doesn't show any startup log "just quick command prompt" and no any response. As I told, I installed Jboss Application server and tried again (following wow.tutorial) even after that instruction, I failed to start Guvnor.

Now, my question is, Do I have to install Jboss AS to run Guvnor or ? without AS the Guvnor will run?
I already have JDK 1.6 in JAVA_HOME. Do you want me to uninstall everything and restart?

I am requesting all professionals who went through this process to please write an instruction with screen shot. It will be very appealing as well as contribution to attract new commers. There are few installation instruction but it is not sufficient and mostly are in Linux environment. As I know these are ok if program runs, what about program doesn't work ? there is no any solutions. It would be better if somebody collect all problems and write up.

Try running it from the cmd, it maybe starting as a background process. So like I said before; check the taskmgr and look for java processes, and check the logs!

And yes Guvnor is a war archive that requires an application server to run on.

Hi GS,

Not sure what it can be.. Here is a getting started guide with JBoss application server: http://refcardz.dzone.com/refcardz/getting-started-jboss. Just know that for the community version all you have to do is unzip, and execute the run.bat/run.sh.

Hopefully this will get you going.

Hi Kurt
I got success to install JBoss AS 5.1 but failed to run i.e. start. Do I have to go manually through running .bat file or I can start server via application?

Hi Kurt
Finally I am able to setup and run this drools-5.1.1-guvnor-standalone. Now, new issues show up. I want to run latest Guvnor 5.3.0 in Jboss AS 7, the server is working but not the Guvnor. Any advise??

Hi GS, AS7 support is something we are currently working on. When you build the guvnor distribution from source you may see we that there are different wars for the various platform versions. I know on AS7 the version of seam is an issue for Guvnor at the moment. So you will just have a wait a bit until this all figured out.

Hi Kurt

My Sony still getting problems to run AS server but HP EliteBook 8440p works. Do I have to configure in System Variable like JBOSS_HOME or JAVA_HOME?

Is there any bundle for Jboss AS 5.1 and Guvnor 5.3? I want to use BPMN2 Oryx designer.
The Jboss 4.2.3.GA works fine but when I run AS 5.1, it doesn't works.
