Problem starting RC2

[xpt]

Hi,

I'm trying pentaho_demo_hsqldb-1.6.0-RC2.820 under Windows XP.



To start the server on a Windows computer, navigate using Windows explorer to the 'pentaho-demo' directory, and double click the 'start-pentaho.bat' file.


I first tried

pentaho_demo_hsqldb-1.6.0-RC2.820.tar.gz

but there is no

'start-pentaho.bat' file under the 'pentaho-demo' directory, only the .sh version available.

I then tried the

pentaho_demo_hsqldb-1.6.0-RC2.820.zip

but there is not a single file under under the 'pentaho-demo' directory, let alone start-pentaho.*.

So I tried to double click on

pentaho-demo\jboss\bin\run.bat

but this is what I get:

The Pentaho Pre-Configured Install v1.6 requires Java 5.

if you dont have start_pentaho.bat in the root directory it sounds like your zip is either corrupt, or has failed to extract correctly?

also like the above poster said - need java 5 as well.

thanks codek & mlowery for the reply.

Yes. I found out the extraction was failed mystically.

As for the java version, which Pentaho Pre-Configured Install can work with java version "1.4.1_01"?

Sorry if it is obvious, but I'm just so new and still am overwhelmed by the amount of information available, and still disoriented about the web pages...

thanks

afaik no PCI will work with Java 1.4 i'm afraid!

[xpt]

thanks for the fast respond!

will the Pentaho Pre-Configured Install v1.6 works with Java Version 6 Update 2?

[codek]

err, not sure - i suggest you get an official reply from Pentaho on that one.

What i do know is that some of the "tools" e.g. the report designer dont work perfectly with 1.6...

The only piece of the latest Pre-Configured Install (PCI) that requires Java 5 is JBoss. You could still run the latest BI Server by installing your own JBoss (that runs on Java 1.4) and downloading the Pentaho J2EE deployments package. That being said, the PCI is much easier. So I would recommend upgrading Java if possible. Otherwise, you could download a 1.2.x PCI.
