JBoss seems to hang on startup

nonprofit_guru — Sat, 18 Feb 2006 21:19:02 GMT

I think I have the Jboss installed and running, but the alfresco.sh start process doesn't finish cleanly.http://localhost:8080/portal produces a JBoss screen and allows me to login.But over in the console screen the script seems to be hung with the last message being:datetimestamp INFO [Server] JBos

That sounds like everything has started fine. The console window will not close until the server is stopped so that is normal behaviour for JBoss.

Cheers,

Kevin

Hmmm….so how does one run alfresco.sh stop when the terminal window is kept active?

I've tried alfresco.sh start & but that didn't change anything.

TIA.

I would have thought:
alfresco.sh start &
would launch the process in a separate console…?

YUP….but on my testing instance (VMWare + CENTOS 4.2) it seems to ignore the & (ampersand to run as a background process).

I'm thinking JBoss will be fine for Java folk, but we'll probably try and wrap Alfresco with a light-weight PHP mechanism in order to combine other applications we need/want but would have to migrate to JBoss/Java.

Thanks.
