DM server refuse to complete startup in STS on mac OS

[alex_mass]

Hello

I unziped the 1.0.1 dm server and installed it into eclipse STS (up to date)
on a mac OS 10.5 up to date
java 1.6.0

Now when I start the server from within STS, the start button keeps blinked for 300s then the message:

Server SpringSource dm Server v1.0 at localhost was unable to start within 300 seconds. If the server requires more time, try increasing the timeout in the server editor.

console output is:

</pre>

And once the error popup is raised, the server status goes to "stopping..." but does not stop blinking.
localhost:8080 is reachable with Springsource DM splash screen.

This looks like a problem with the integration between the dm Server tools and dm Server. As you can see from the console output, dm Server has actually started but, from the error message, it's apparent that the dm Server tools are not aware that this is the case.

I'll ask our tools expert to take a look at this. In the meantime can you please check which version of the dm Server tools you have installed? I'm running with the 1.1.0.v200811281800 version on Mac OS 10.5 with Java 6 and don't experience the problem that you're seeing: hopefully it's just down to a version mismatch somewhere.

Thanks Andy for this fast answer.
my sts version is 200809261800

I try to update it directly from eclipse but I cannot (it says nothing to update)...
Is there a better way to update sts instead of re-installing everything from scratch? (with all the plugin I've added)

cheers
Alex

[Andy Wilkinson]

You can update just the dm Server tools, without having to update all of STS, from this update site:

http://static.springsource.com/proje...server/update/

This should give you access to the latest version (1.1.0.v200811281800).

Thank a lot Andy
that was just that! (I made a global sts update before but for some reason the sts-update site was not checked...)

thanks a lot and thanks for all your efforts
cheers
