  hi E.W!
  thanks for your reply, but it seems you didn't receive my last
  message. i am on win 2000, and i used winzip to unpack orion package.
  tools.jar is already in c:\orion directory and i already created a
  persistence directory, but everysthing is still same. What can be
  wrong, where am i mistaken? Can you help me with this?
  thank you very much for taking time and for your concern.

Hi!

The directory name should be persistence with an e. I don't know
if this is the correct spelling of the word, but that's what my
Orion directory is called ;) (In my case: E:\orion\persistence )

2001-10-09 Thread Mark Bernardinis

i actually spelled mine persistence and it worked. i had the same problem
when i first installed on a win32 system and i just created the directory
and it worked upon loading up the second time. the file that is called
transaction.state does not need to be created (in my instance). i am using
jdk1.3 from sun on a windows 98 machine. just give it a try and create the
directory with that spelling i gave you and see how it goes (it can't hurt
:-) hope all goes well.

Re: starting orion application server

2001-10-08 Thread Stephen Davidson

Hi Yilmaz.

Are you trying to use the control script?  I never succeeded in getting
that to work right in 1.5.2.  I just start it from the command line;

c:\orionjava -server -Xincgc -jar orion.jar

Note: Depending on which JVM you are running, you may need to change the
-server to -hotspot.

As far as the file itself goes, orion normally creates it on startup,
when needed.  Under normal shutdown, this file is deleted from my
system.  So I do not have one I can send you.  And as I am running on
Linux, I am not sure how effective it would be for you anyways.  I had
one person here spell the directory wrong, and it took a little before
it was figured out what the problem was.

A wild guess, are there any other web servers running on your machine? 
If so, what port are they running on, and what port is Orion configured
to run on?

-Steve

RE: starting orion application server

2001-10-07 Thread The elephantwalker

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.

hi Steve,
thanks for your kind reply.
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 :)

 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.  So you have
 to create it manually yourself.  You do NOT need to put the orion
 directory into your classpath.

 The following command issued in the orion directory should fix your
 issue with the transaction.state file.

 C:\orionmkdir persistance

 I know about this because one of the developers on my team ran into this
 issue yesterday when setting up Orion on his Win2K box.

 If you have not done so already, you also need to copy the tools.jar
 file from your jdk directory into your c:\orion directory.

 FYI, our testing has indicated that orion works best on Bea's JDK, Sun's
 JDK, or IBM's Hotspot JDK.  On Microsoft's JVM, we sometimes get for no
 apparent reason some rather funky errors that go away when we switch
 JVM's.

 Regards,
 Steve

  hi guys,
  i am new to orion,
  i already downloaded orion application server, and unzipped under
c:\orion
  directory.
  according to instructions i also put the tools.jar under c:\orion
  Next on command window , i ran  java -jar orion.jar -install
  which prompted me to enter a password, and it said installation was done
  though i was surprised to  finish so fast,  i tried running orion by
  java -jar orion.jar
  as i expected it didn't start , but gave me the following strange error:
 
  C:\orionjava -jar orion.jar
  Fatal Error: Transaction log file
(/C:/orion/persistence/transaction.state)
  did
  not exist and was not possible to create, the most common reason for
this is
  an
  invalid path or Orion lacking security to write to that path:
  /C:/orion/persiste
  nce/transaction.state (系統æ?¾ä¸?å^°æ??å®sçs?è·¯å¾?ã?,)
