Karaf does not startup on Windows 7

Hi All,

Im trying to start the Apache Karaf(both 2.3.2 and 3.0.1) from Windows 7,
but keep getting the following error message:

karaf.bat: Ignoring predefined value for KARAF_HOME
Unable to update instance pid: Child instance started but no root registered
in D:\Softwares\OSGi\apache-karaf-2.3.2\instances\instance.properties
Karaf can't startup, make sure the log file can be accessed and written by
the user starting Karaf :
D:\Softwares\OSGi\apache-karaf-2.3.2\mvn:org.apache.felix\org.apache.felix.framework\4.2.1

Can someone explain what the error means and how can I resolve it?

Thanks,
Sapna

Do you have admin privileges to write outside of your home folder?

I run Apache 3.0.1 from my Home folder fine, I did see issues like this if
I ran outside my home folder though.

Hi Sapna,

thanks for the update. I have a Windows 7 virtual machine, I gonna test 
it. However, I'm a bit surprised as I'm pretty sure Windows users use 
Karaf 2.3.2 or 3.0.1.

I keep you posted.

Regards
JB

Yes, I think now we're heading in the right direction.
You'll need to configure Karaf to work without Maven as it usually is used
in
conjunction. Especially since all optional bundles/features are installed
via maven.

One thing: can you try to move the JDK in another folder than Program 
Files (without spaces).

I am not a Windows user any more. However, I remember it was generally 
advised to keep the Java in folder not having spaces. I am not sure if 
this is not an issue in the latest Windows or Java versions. You can 
give it a try.

Hi Sapna,

IMHO, the problem is on your system (permission, user, whatever).

I'm not able to reproduce your issue on my Win7 VM.

Maybe we can have a session together (Skype or whatever) allowing me to 
check your system.

Especially this sentence:

sounds fishy to me. Do you have the right access rights in the file-system?
Or do you try to run it as another user?
Maybe a "run-as Administrator" helps.

I tried with Sun JDK 1.7 by setting the JAVA_HOME to C:\Program

I still get the same error:

Do you want me to specifically try with another java 6 version?

Is your application tied to this exact java-version or can you try at
least a more recent version of Java6 [1]?

Re: Karaf does not startup on Windows 7

Posted by Jean-Baptiste Onofré <jb...@nanthrax.net>.
It's because the user has defined KARAF_HOME variable "outside" of the 
script.

I just also tried to replicate the problem using windows 7 and jdk7.
I renamed my maven installation as well as the .m2 dir. Still karaf 
started normally.

I also tried to use spaces in the karaf dir but it still worked.

I wonder what the error Ignoring predefined valeu for KARAF_HOME means.

Hi JB,

I didnt mention it in the forum, but exactly as you said, 3.0.1 gets stuck
while starting. 
The background processes of loading the bundles goes on, because I could see
the log file and instance.properties getting updated, but it just doesn't
start up.

I havent tried 2.3.5 yet. 2.3.2 still gives the same problem for me, even
after installing the JDK 7 in a separate folder with no spaces.

Regards,
Sapna

Hi Sapna,

it seems that I'm able to reproduce your problem at least with Karaf 
3.0.1 on a Windows 7 machine.
Karaf 2.3.5 works fine, but Karaf 3.0.1 seems to be stuck at startup.

I gonna check bin/karaf.bat.

I keep you posted.

Regards
JB
