Installing JBoss as a windows service with non-ascii character directory

[suminub]

Hi All,

I followed the steps in this link (https://community.jboss.org/wiki/RunningJBossAS7AsAWindowsService) to install jboss as a windows service on a windows server 2008 rc2 64 bit environment.

Everything works fine and we are able to access the deployed web applications.

However, if the install directory contains a non-ascii character (eg chinese characters) eg: c:\云服务

then it fails to start the service. Doesnt throw any error.

I am wondering, if this is a known issue in jboss and if there is any workaround for this?

thanks in advance

Hi,

we haven't tested instalation in folder with non-ascii characters in name.

Is the problem only when installing it as a service or also when running standalone.bat / domain.bat manualy from console?

Anyhow workaround would be to rename a folder to include only acsii characters

Hi Tomaz

thanks for your reply.

I tried running the standalone.bat as well and I get this error

Hi suminub,

Can you file a JIRA and please include the complete stack trace on it.

Thanks!
