Problem starting JBOSS.

jasoncol01

I recently upgraded from AwareIM Developer version 2.0 to Developer 2.2. I used productKey.bat to update the product key. Now JBOSS fails to start. Please advise.

Thanks,
Jason

The following is the JBOSS log:

I had exactly the some problem twice recently.
The first time I don't know what happened exactly but I guess a out of memory error due to some other issue.
The second time I wanted to create a new Minor version from the current productive version of a business space when the configuration tool hang.
I had to kill AwareIM and when trying to restart JBoss didn't work anymore.
I came around this by reinstalling the same version again. Since it was a productive environment I didn't have to time to do any further investigations. But in case anyone is intersted I have a backupcopy.

Hi,

I have had this problem as well. This seems to happen everytime my server does a Windows software update. I just replaced JBOSS with a back up I now keep.

Everything works fine again after that.

The most likely cause of this problem is that if Aware IM is killed or if you upgrade to a new version of Aware IM that includes the new version of JBoss, JBoss leaves certain files hanging and tries to load them when it starts up again. This can take ages and can even run out of memory if there are many files.

The solution is to clear these files before starting Aware IM. The problem is that we haven't been able to track down exactly where JBoss leaves these files - sometimes it is in AwareIM/JBoss/server/bas/temp directory, sometimes in AwareIM/JBoss/server/bas/db directory and sometimes elsewhere.

The cleanest solution is to install evaluation version of Aware IM in a new folder somewhere, then delete the entire AwareIM/JBoss directory from the production machine and copy the entire AwareIM/JBoss directory from the second copy of Aware IM to the production machine - this is what Alan did.
