[Phillipe Rodrigues]

Hi,
I'm trying the installation of JBoss for first time on my system.I download a jboss-5.0.0.Beta1.zip,unzippd it in C:\ directory and tried to configure with MyEclipse through preferences.J2sdk1.5 is installed on my system.With everything done,on startup i get the below error:

What steps I need to follow? let me know.

Are you sure you have set JAVA_HOME to JDK 1.5? What do the following commands output:

echo %JAVA_HOME%

java -version

By the way, why are you using JBoss-5 Beta1? There is Beta4 which is available for download. Also, if you don't need any specific features of JBoss-5, then you can use the latest stable version JBoss-4.2.2 GA.

[Phillipe Rodrigues]

With the command java -version execution I get:

Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600]

C:\>

Also I made samo changes in the run.bat file wherein I explicitly mention
the java home as below:

if not "%JAVA_HOME%" == "C:\Program Files\Java\j2sdk1.5.0" goto ADD_TOOLS

with these above changes,I get the error below when clicked on run.bat

JAVA_HOME is not set. Unexpected results may occur.
Set JAVA_HOME to the directory of your local JDK to avoid this message.

How to proceed further?

java version "1.5.0-beta"

You are using a Beta version of Java. Please download the latest version of JDK (i guess it's JDK 5.0 Update 15).

%JAVA_HOME% = C:\Program Files\Java\j2sdk1.5.0

Always remember not to install JDK/JRE or Java applications (including JBoss) in folders that have a space in its path name. You are better off installing the JDK in maybe C:\Java.

And finally, do you really need JBoss-5.0 Beta, when there's a stable 4.2.2 GA? If yes, then why don't you use JBoss-5 Beta 4.

[Jaikiran Pai]

Rakesh,

I don't see any Portal or Portlet related question in this. This appears to be a JBoss installation question. I'll ask the moderators to move this to our JBoss forum. If you have anything specific to ask about Portal/Portlet, please open a new thread in this forum.

Hi,
As suggested,I installed jboss-4.2.2.GA on my system.When i click on the run.bay file i get the below error:

Let me know what jdk version is jboss4.2.2 compatible?

[Jaikiran Pai]

JAVA: C:\j2sdk1.4.2_12\bin\java

You need JDK 1.5 for JBoss-4.2.2

Hi,
How to stop the JBoss server.

[Jaikiran Pai]

Use the shutdown.bat file present in %JBOSS_HOME%\bin folder
