    mesmer

      i'm a beginner of JBoss Portal,

      i downloaded JBoss Portal + JBoss AS 4.2.1 at http://labs.jboss.com/jbossportal/download/index.html,

      i extracted the file jboss-portal-2.6.2.GA-bundled.zip to my C: Drive, but when i execute the run.bat file, there is a message appear:

      JAVA_HOME is not set. Unexpected result may occur.
      Set JAVA_HOME to the directory of your local JDK to avoid this message.
      =================================================

      JBoss Bootstrap Enviroment

      JBOSS_HOME: C:\jboss-portal-2.6.2

      JAVA: Java

      JAVA_OPTS: -Dprogram.name=run.bat -server -Xms128m -Xmx512m -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000

          Do you have Java installed on your system. If not, you can download it from the Sun website. JBoss 4.2.x requires Java 5 version. You can download it from http://java.sun.com/javase/downloads/index_jdk5.jsp. Once you have downloaded it, you can set JAVA_HOME to point to the folder where you installed Java (i would recommend you install it in a folder which does not have a space in its path). You can set the JAVA_HOME in the run.bat itself. Here's an example, i have Java 5 installed at C:\jdk1.5.0_07, so my JAVA_HOME will be set in the run.bat as follows:

          JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.5.0_07


          Once you have set this, you can then start JBoss as usual, using the run.bat

            Hi, thanks for your reply.

            I installed JDK in my system, but i don't know how to do with the JAVA_HOME setting. Do i need to edit the run.bat file? If i need to do that, which part should i edit?

              You can edit the run.bat and set the JAVA_HOME as follows (see the line marked in bold):

              @echo off
              rem -------------------------------------------------------------------------
              rem JBoss Bootstrap Script for Win32
              rem -------------------------------------------------------------------------
              
              rem $Id: run.bat 63249 2007-05-30 13:20:25Z dimitris@jboss.org $
              
              @if not "%ECHO%" == "" echo %ECHO%
              @if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" setlocal
              
              set JAVA_HOME=C:\jdk1.5.0_07
              
              set DIRNAME=.\
              if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" set DIRNAME=%~dp0%
              set PROGNAME=run.bat
              if "%OS%" == "Windows_NT" set PROGNAME=%~nx0%
