Trouble starting the server!

[olakara]

Hi all,
I downloaded the release 1 dm server, set in SERVER_HOME variable and started the server. initially i got error that osgiConsole port is used. So i changed the port to 9009 in server.config file.

Now when i start the server, i get different error as below:
[2008-10-24 15:57:45.847] main <SPKB0001I> Server starting.
[2008-10-24 15:57:47.002] main <SPOF0001I> OSGi telnet conso
le available on port 9009.
[2008-10-24 15:57:47.065] main <SPKB0002E> Start failed:

Any idea why?
Thanks for your help,

That package should be exported by repository/bundles/subsystems/com.springsource.server.serviceability/com.springsource.server.serviceability.tracing.asp ects-1.0.0.RELEASE.jar. Can you please check that you have the bundle in that location?

We have seen problems on Windows when the server's been unzipped using Windows' in-built decompression utility. If you're running on Windows this may be the problem: I'd recommend using 7Zip, or similar, instead.

Hi Andy,

Thanks for your reply. The jar you mentioned is available on my system. I used AlZip to unzip the server. Interesting observation is I got this error on my office machine. And it runs on Windows XP SP2. I just tried the same on my personal laptop running Vista and things look great. I have no problem starting and working with the dm server.

What could be the reason which failed the server to start up on my Windows XP machine? I will do a study on monday. Lets see.

Thanks and Regards,

One possibility is that you've hit Windows' file path length limit.

To what directory did you unzip dm Server? On Windows, we recommend unzipping to the root of a drive to avoid this problem.
