Dear Yilmaz, I have seen this problem before in linux. If you used jar to unzip the Orion distribution, the directories created did not have the bit set for each orion directory. This prevents Orion from creating files in these directories. You need to do a chmod +d to all of these directories, and their sub directories. Its a pain in the arse (excuse my old english), but so it goes.

I created the persistance directory, but the error is still persisting :) ( i already copied the tools.jar into the orion home directory, and i am using sun's jdk1.3.1 ) below is the log file i tried to start it up: 2001/10/8 上午 9:41 1.5.2 Started 2001/10/8 上午 9:41 1.5.2 Stopped (JVM termination) i am having the same error message saying that (persistance/transaction.state) doesn't exist.Obviously it can't find the transaction.state file. How should i create it , or do you have a sample one so that i can configure according to my environment.Thanks in advance. cheers :) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Stephen Davidson" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Orion-Interest" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Saturday, October 06, 2001 11:05 PM Subject: Re: Orion-Interest subscription notification > Hi Yilmaz. > > You are obviously new here, or you would know that you do not need to > threaten in order to get help. > > On the topic of the persitance directory, there is an issue where this > directory is not created automatically under WinNT/Win2K.
