That's because Orion did not start properly in the first place. That's why you're getting that second error. Fix the start process, then you should be fine. To test that Orion did not start, just hit it via local host or something and see if it responds. You should get connection refused.
-- This is what I get when I start Orion: C:\orion>java -jar orion.jar Warning: Error reading transaction-log file (/C:/orion/persistence/transaction.state) for recovery: premature end of file Forced or abrubt (crash etc) server shutdown detected, starting recovery process ... Recovery completed, 0 connections committed and 0 rolled back... Orion/1.5.2 initialized I immediately opened a new DOS window and did this: C:\WINDOWS\Profiles\James\Desktop>cd c:\orion C:\orion>java -jar admin.jar ormi://localhost:8080 admin pswd -shutdown Error: javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup error: java.io.EOFException: Disconnected; nested exception is: java.io.EOFException: Disconnected C:\orion> From: "Setlur, Atul (MED)" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Orion-Interest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Orion-Interest <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: RE: How do you shut down orion after it's initialized Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2001 11:16:11 -0600 Are you sure you are running this from the directory where orion is installed. Verify admin.jar is in the directory that you are running this script. Alternatively, "cd" to the orion directory and run it from there. -Atul -----Original Message----- From: James Beeson [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, December 18, 2001 9:41 AM To: Orion-Interest Subject: Re: How do you shut down orion after it's initialized I did not have the admin user deactivated (althought that was a good tip- thanks!) When I use the command: java -jar admin.jar ormi://localhost:8080/ admin pswd -shutdown I get: Exception in thread "main" java.util.zip.ZipException: The system cannot find the file specified at java.util.zip.ZipFile.open(Native Method) at java.util.zip.ZipFile.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(Unknown Source) at java.util.jar.JarFile.<init>(Unknown Source) And then Orion is left running. Could that be related to the error it prints out when Orion starts (here it is): Warning: Error reading transaction-log file (/C:/orion/persistence/transaction.state) for recovery: premature end of file Forced or abrubt (crash etc) server shutdown detected, starting recovery process ... Recovery completed, 0 connections committed and 0 rolled back... Orion/1.5.2 initialized But then the app runs fine. I currently don't have a transaction.state file. Why won't it let me shut down Orion?
