I used the linux installer posted by Pascal and others, and between that and using the java6 provided by apt, it all just worked. Perhaps its because you are trying to run things as root and you are kicking off the process directly from init (root) without a sub-shell.
Instead, use appserver as prescribed and have your apps run as detailed using "su - appserver " etc. appserver has the NEXT_ROOT being set for it by the installer. check out: http://wiki.objectstyle.org/confluence/display/WO/Installing+WO+5.3+or+WO+5.4+on+Linux 2009/6/13 Atli Páll Hafsteinsson <a...@lupnaav.com>: > Hi > > Has anyone deployed WO on an Ubuntu box ? > > I am having trouble getting WO to accept my NEXT_ROOT variable > > #echo NEXT_ROOT gives me /opt/Apple > #sudo echo NEXT_ROOT gives me /opt/Apple > > but when running an app it complains: > "NEXT_ROOT environment variable is not set!" > > I tryed to set the var in /etc/environment ant /etc/profile with same results > > Any one know whats wrong? > > > -- > Atli Páll Hafsteinsson > atlip...@gmail.com > _______________________________________________ > Do not post admin requests to the list.
