Can not start Jboss server

[Carol Chen]

Hi every one,
I just downloaded Jboss-3.0.2 and unzip it. But I can't start Jboss server by running run.bat. I got exceptions. I previous downloaded Jboss-2.4.1, that is OK for me. But I don't know why I can't start new version. Do I need to set up system environment?
Hope any one can help me!
Thx!
Carol

Can you describe the errors in any more detail? If you execute the run script from the bin/ directory, all the environment should take care of itself. Is the Java not starting, or just the server initialization failing? If java gets started, the logfiles (in server/default/log) might provide some insight.

have you jdk1.3

I downloaded the jboss-3.0.0_tomcat-4.0.3, it is OK to start server. The version Jboss-3.0.2 still can't be started. The exception is as followings:

I have no idea with the exception. I do have jdk 1.3. Hope anyone can help me.

could you put your complete system configurations,
like Operating System

[Carol Chen]

The Operation System which I use is Windows2000 advanced server, and I set the JBOSS_DIST, JAVA_HOME. For Jboss-3.0.2, I don't change anything, only the JBOSS_DIST, but it doesn't work.
Thx,

The relavent configuration seems to be in conf/jboss-service.xml. In the 'default' server, it looks something like this:

  <!-- ==================================================================== -->
  <!-- System Properties                                                    -->
  <!-- ==================================================================== -->
  <mbean code="org.jboss.varia.property.SystemPropertiesService"
    name="jboss:type=Service,name=SystemProperties">
    <!-- The invokerServletPath property gives the public URL to the
      org.jboss.invocation.http.servlet.InvokerServlet used by the
      HTTP proxy for RMI/HTTP. This is only needed if the http-invoker.sar
      is deployed.
    -->
    <attribute name="Properties">
      invokerServletPath=http://localhost:8080/invoker/JMXInvokerServlet
    </attribute>
    <!-- Load properties from each of the given comma seperated URLs
    <attribute name="URLList">
      <a href="http://somehost/some-location.properties," target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://somehost/some-location.properties,</a>
      ./conf/somelocal.properties
    </attribute>
    -->
  </mbean>

Does yours look any different? (Notice that some stuff is commented out).
