Hi there. I've been trying to start the M1 james 3 without success on MS Windows server 2003 with java 1.6u22 jdk. ------------------------------------------------ When I install the windows service with no changes to any CONF files the startup fails with no log output either to the james log files or to the windows event log (other than the useless message "service failed to start"] My dos window is: Microsoft Windows [Version 5.2.3790] (C) Copyright 1985-2003 Microsoft Corp.
C:\s\james-3\bin>james install wrapper | Apache James Server Container Spring installed. C:\s\james-3\bin>james start wrapper | Starting the Apache James Server Container Spring service... wrapper | Waiting to start... wrapper | Waiting to start... wrapper | Waiting to start... wrapper | Waiting to start... wrapper | The Apache James Server Container Spring service was launched, but failed to start. Press any key to continue . . . Are we supposed to be able to start james 3 without making any changes ? ----------------------------------------------- My first attempt was after making changes to the collection of XML files in CONF and attempting to start with those files. When I tried to start james with those files, the windows event log showed one error "Error: Password file read access must be restricted: ../conf/jmx.password" which surprised me. That's when I decided to try starting james with no configuration changes - just as released in the binary zip file. I have not attempted to carry over any of my james 2.3.2 data to version 3. I've made sure that the james 2 service is stopped before trying to start james 3. I'm stuck for ideas now. Gerry Matte 250-383-2466 http://www.gerrymatte.ca
