It absolutely is, it might even provide you with some fun, and new
knowledge of and respect for Email ;-)
Your problem is Windows 98 related and pretty much not anything else :-(
Win98 has poor support for batch file scripting when conpared with NT
derivatives and linux/unix.
To overcome this you should indeed be specifying JAVA_HOME, and
PHONENIX_HOME
I'd *guess* that PHOENIX_HOME is C:\APACHE2\HTDOCS\JAMES
I'm not clear why you have it "inside" APACHE2, you do know that James is a
stand alone Mail server don't you? (Please don't be offended by questions
which insult your intelligence I'm just trying to establish a base level of
understanding)
JAVA_HOME should probably be C:\J2SDK\
You can indeed tell JAVA to grab more memory, but it usually signals a need
by saying "OutOfMemoryException" not "Out of environment space"
To cure the latter read this:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=http://support.microsoft.com:80/support/kb/articles/Q230/2/05.ASP&NoWebContent=1
To address the former you need to start Java (or James or whatever) with
the -Xmx command line option followed by a max figure for memory (eg
-Xmx640m which will give James 640Mb), I don't know what the default is,
but TBH I've never had to increase is yet, and doubt. that a low load
scenario like yours would have to either.
I have run James sucessfully on win98, but not for a few years and it was a
PITA, but focus on the fact that win98 is weak in its handling of batch
scripts and you too will prevail.
