JBoss 4.2.0 not starting

[Dushyant Agarwal]

I am getting the following message on tring to start my JBoss: no 'server' JVM at <JRE_Home>\bin\server\jvm.dll. I am using JDK 1.5, for running the JBoss server. Please help.

Are you using JRE or a JDK? I remember there was an issue with some version of 4.2.x where starting the server with just the JRE wasn't possible.

I recommend that you use JBoss AS 4.2.3 (if you want to stick with 4.x series). Also what's the output of:

echo %JAVA_HOME%

First I wnna answer your questions:

Are you using JRE or a JDK?

I am using JDK 1.5.0.
I don't know how to find the output of

echo %JAVA_HOME%

I tried

echo %JAVA_HOME%

on the dos prompt. It gave

%JAVA_HOME%

as string output .
However, I have found the solution: if I remove the

 -server  

option from

  %JAVA_OPTS%  

in the run.bat, I get the server running. As well as I got the server running with eclipse IDE without any changes to run.bat(...yayy).
