Jboss error - question

[sai99_99]

We are new JBoss. We were able to install JBoss 5 and it is running fine. We trying to install a software called Informatica mdm, which uses JBoss. One of the steps in mdm is we need to give the location for Application server home path. No matter, what path we give, we still get an error. Please see the attchment Can someone help us please

What version of JBoss AS is "Informatica mdm" qualified for? Most likely, that installer is looking for certain files within JBoss AS, but those files might not be in JBoss AS 5.1.0, or might be in different locations. Every version of JBoss AS tends to place certain key files in different locations.

Thanks for your answer. Can you please tell us where would be the JBoss application server home path. Is it the main folder where you save your extracted JBoss files after downloading from site

[peterj]

You gave the proper location: it's the directory that has the JBoss AS name and version in it (jboss-5.1.0.GA). Just to double-check, make sure that c:\MDM\jboss-5.1.0.GA\bin\run.bat exists. (In other words, you don't want to have c:\MDM\jboss-5.1.0.GA\jboss-5.1.0.GA\bin\run.bat)

Thanks so much for your answers. Our jboss installation consisted of following steps:

1. downloaded jboss 5.1.0 from sourceforge.com. Also downloaded jboss installer.
2. Extracted the zip files and ran the jboss installer first
3. ran the run.bat file, which started the jboss server

Are these all the steps involved for Jboss installation. Are there any steps we missed for installation

Thanks again

What installer? There is no installer for JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA (there used to be one for 4.0.5). The entire installation of JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA involves downloading and unzipping the ZIP file.
