Subject: [flexcoders] Massive JRun4 Problems - and your advice for resources...

 

Hello All,

I know JRun4 questions are slightly off-topic, but my questions are
directly related to Flex, as without a functioning JRun4 server, the
Flex 1.5 Server is pretty much useless.

As much as Macromedia makes impressive products, I am completely blown
away as to crappy reliability of fresh JRun4 installs.  I used the
install program directly off my DevNet Subscription CD, AND I also tried
downloading it from my Subscriptions page - in hopes of maybe getting a
slightly newer or older version.

No matter which darn server I install it on - Windows 2003 Standard,
Windows 2003 Web Edition, Windows 2000 Server, or Windows XP - I get
errors EVERY stinking time, when the service tries to start.  The Admin
Service starts fine 100% of the time, BUT the Default Server that is
created, generates TONS of errors upon startup.  After an install, I
even apply the latest Service Pack from MM, in hopes of correcting
errors.  Things improve slightly (less errors upon initialization) but
STILL, the Default Server refuses to start AND any new server I try to
create, refuses to start.  And as always, the error messages are
completely useless.

I've seen KB Articles regarding the JVM/JDK being version 1.5 - and
issues regarding that.  I applied all possible patches, and performed
all suggestions from the Help Articles, and STILL nothing...

I am so TERRIBLY frustrated, and wasted SO much stinking time on this,
that it just obliterated my productivity for the last couple weeks.
With all of us being developers, we all know that our time (especially
billable time) is worth GOLD.  I am almost tempted to send MM a bill for
all my wasted time.  I've never been through this much crap with
Microsoft products (which is probably why I still use .NET exclusively
for Server Side solutions (as I need reliability and server solutions
that actually install without a hitch and also *work* 100% of the time).

Please forgive me for the ranting, but I've gotten to the point (due to
an accumulation over the years of pulling all-nighters because of buggy
server software and development tools) where I just want to throw MM
products out the window and kiss it all goodbye.  Of course, I hang on
to the hopes of an eventually perfected/mature development environment,
comprised of the seamless integration of IDE tools & Server components,
so I can FINALLY deliver something truly wonderful to my clients.

I still believe in the end, that MM solutions, will be the means to
achieving that goal - but at what cost???

Since so many on this list, have probably been through JRun4 woes before
(due to Flex Server and/or ColdFusion), that possibly somebody could
contact me off-list or point me in the right direction for quality
information, regarding JRun4 and all it's funky quirks.  I admit, I have
not yet directly contacted MM - so hopefully, they will be willing to
talk to me since I am a fully paid-up DevNet Subscriber.  BUT if I have
to fork out cash for premium service, simply to get their server product
to simply *install* properly, I will be really peeved.

Thanks everybody for listening, and as always, I am truly grateful for
all your help.

Humbly,

Mike :)
