Hi, I'm running ESB 4.9.0 on Win 7 OS 64-it. Let's say my esb is available at following location D:\wso2esb\samples\axis2Server As per instructions to run samples, I'm able to successfully build sample apps using ant but axis2 server doesn't start at all.

Answer 1

you can use the .bat or .sh from old WSO2 ESB 4.8.0 or fix the issue: Just need to open the .bat or .sh with a text editor and find the line with this string(for windows SO):

-Djava.io.tmpdir="%AXIS2_HOME%..\..\tmp\" 

try to remove the \ after tmp and run your server again and this is all.

Answer 2

Correct the axis2server.bat script as shown below:

On line 126 make the following amendments:

1. Remove the trailing '\' after tmp at the end of the java.io.tmpdir declaration: i.e change -Djava.io.tmpdir="%AXIS2_HOME%..\..\tmp\" %_SERVERNAME% to -Djava.io.tmpdir="%AXIS2_HOME%..\..\tmp" %_SERVERNAME%

2. Add a (missing) '\' in the conf declaration before 'repository': i.e. change -conf "%AXIS2_HOME%repository\conf\axis2.xml" to -conf "%AXIS2_HOME%\repository\conf\axis2.xml"

Save and re-run the axis2server.bat script.
