Not able to run Virtual Server

[krishherein]

Hello friends,

I am new to alfresco, I have downloaded and installed Alfresco latest version. I am not able to run the virtual server, whenever I click the menu item "Start Virtual Server", the command prompt window appears and it closes within a second. I don't know why this is happening. Please help i need it urgently.

Thanks,

Hello everyone!!

I'm new too and I have the same problem, but there is a little more information that I think it can help to solve it. When I excecute the virtual_start.bat at the commnad prompt it shows this message:

starting Tomcat…
Neither the JAVA_HOME nor the JRE_HOME enviroment variable is defined
At least one of these enviroment variableis needed to run this program

Of course I have installed Java, so the question is: how do I configure what the command prompt says?

If anyone could help to solve this problem I would be thankful

Hi,
I got the solution to the problem.
Right Click on My Computer -> Properties.
click Advance tab -> click on Environment variables.
on System Variable Section click "New".
Variable name: JAVA_HOME
Variable value: <Path of your JDK directory> eg. C:\JDK1.5.06

Now close the command prompt window, open new command prompt window and run your virtual server.
