I've got the same error and I don't understand why... This http://doc.nuxeo.com/display/KB/Launcher+says+it+couldn%27t+retrieve+process+ID is useless for me, but maybe can it help you?

Hi, I don't have the technical answer, however I updated your question title to make it more understandable for others. Hopefully, some more tech. persons will help you.

I noticed your install files are on the F: drive. I have run into problems on Windows when not installing to C:. See the following link for additional information (http://answers.nuxeo.com/questions/532/force-install-to-use-drive-other-than-c-for-all-components).

I have the same problem. The server stops but does not start again.

This problem only occurs if I do this after installing a new JAR archive:

cp xyz.jar /var/lib/nuxeo/server/nxserver/bundles/
/etc/init.d/nuxeo restart

So I think this is a problem with the handling of the archives and some sort of time out (or state management).

The content of server.log is the following:

2012-05-31 09:39:49,726 INFO  [org.quartz.core.QuartzScheduler] Scheduler DefaultQuartzScheduler_$_NON_CLUSTERED shutting down.
2012-05-31 09:39:49,726 INFO  [org.quartz.core.QuartzScheduler] Scheduler DefaultQuartzScheduler_$_NON_CLUSTERED paused.
2012-05-31 09:39:49,726 INFO  [org.quartz.core.QuartzScheduler] Scheduler DefaultQuartzScheduler_$_NON_CLUSTERED shutdown complete.

I don't know if this exactly the same problem but if I run /etc/init.d/nuxeo start again then the server starts normally.

I'm not sure you have the same issue if it only occurs when adding a bundle, please fill a dedicated question for yours.

Shutdown happens 1h after the startup. Are you sure the server wasn't started?

Which command did you run to start the server? What is your OS version? On some Windows versions, it is not possible for the Nuxeo launcher to retrieve the process ID (aka PID) so a workaround is to start Nuxeo in background (see nuxeoctl commands such as startbg, restartbg, ...).

You can also follow http://doc.nuxeo.com/x/eABu in order to check if the process ID is retrievable or not.
