RE: SimpleAxisServer will not start

[Jeff Clary]

John,

 

My problem was simple fat fingering.  I omitted a subdirectory in some paths specified in axiscpp.conf.  SimpleAxisServer just failed to start with what I took to be the C runtime's exception message, "This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual way.  Please contact the application's support team for more information."

 

Just a simple "Could not find W:\SimpleAxisServer\lib\AxisXMLParser.dll" message on exit would have focused my attention on my mistake.

 

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Is there a JIRA we need here to stop this error from happening again? What was the problem with the files - were they not there? Is it something we can code for or at least put out a warning message? I thought we already did this stuff but obviously not enough !

Samisa,

After trying your document step by step and getting SimpleAxisServer to at least start (haven't tried the clients yet), I went back and compared that success carefully with my earlier attempt.  It turns out I originally had bad paths in my axiscpp.conf for XMLParser, Transport_http, Channel_HTTP, and Channel_HTTP_SSL.  Thanks for the help.

Jeff

Given the numerous complaints on Simple Axis Server not working, I got a
fresh machine (never touched by Axis C++) and installed Axis C++ from
scratch and documented the process of how to get it running.

PFA the document

The operating system on the machine was Windows 2003 server.

HTH

Thanks,
Samisa...

As mentioned in the reply thread
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=111333000000001&r=1&w=2, Xerces DLL is
the culprit most of the time. However, as you have mentioned, you seem
to have this on the PATH. I tried running simple axis server without
Xerces dll on my PATH and I get the same error as you get. When I put
this back, things work OK.

Additionally do you have W:\SimpleAxisServer\Axis\conf\server.wsdd file
as specified by axiscpp.conf in the correct location? If this is
missing, you tend to get a similar error but the error will also say
that it cannot locate the server.wsdd file.

To verify that the settings are correct, before running simple axis
server on a new shell, try echo %AXISCPP_DEPLOY% to and %PATH% to make
sure that the settings include what is required by Axis C++.

Thanks,
Samisa...

I had posted the same problem and did not get a reply :(

Following the note in the instructions, I copied AxisClient.dll to
W:\SimpleAxisServer.  In fact, I copied *all* the DLLs from the Axis bin
directory to W:\SimpleAxisServer.
