hi Steve, thanks for your kind reply. I created the persistance directory, but the error is still persisting :) ( i already copied the tools.jar into the orion home directory, and i am using sun's jdk1.3.1 ) below is the log file i tried to start it up:
2001/10/8 上午 9:41 1.5.2 Started 2001/10/8 上午 9:41 1.5.2 Stopped (JVM termination) i am having the same error message saying that (persistance/transaction.state) doesn't exist.Obviously it can't find the transaction.state file. How should i create it , or do you have a sample one so that i can configure according to my environment.Thanks in advance. cheers :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Davidson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Orion-Interest" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2001 11:05 PM Subject: Re: Orion-Interest subscription notification > Hi Yilmaz. > > You are obviously new here, or you would know that you do not need to > threaten in order to get help. > > On the topic of the persitance directory, there is an issue where this > directory is not created automatically under WinNT/Win2K.
