Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

I'm running winXP Pro SP2 and have just downloaded and installed the Application Server Platform Edition 8 2004Q4 Beta.

When I start the default server it opens a dos box and tries to start the domain. After a couple of minutes I get the following message:

"CLI156 Could not start the domain domain1"

Looking in server.log I find the following:

[#|2004-12-12T20:01:26.218+0000|INFO|sun-appserver-pe8.1|javax.enterprise.resource.jms|_ThreadID=10;|JMS5035: Timed out after 60000 milliseconds while trying to verify if the JMS service startup succeeded.|#]

[#|2004-12-12T20:01:26.218+0000|INFO|sun-appserver-pe8.1|javax.enterprise.resource.jms|_ThreadID=10;|JMS5037: Check permissions of MQ instance directory C:\Sun\AppServer\imq\var\instances|#]

[#|2004-12-12T20:01:26.218+0000|INFO|sun-appserver-pe8.1|javax.enterprise.resource.jms|_ThreadID=10;|JMS5036: More details may be available in the log file for the JMS service broker instance imqbroker. Please refer to the JMS provider documentation for the exact location of this log file.|#]

I've checked the permissions on C:\Sun\AppServer\imq\var\instances as it suggests and they are set to RW.

I've also looked in the IMQ log and found these messages:

[13/Dec/2004:18:10:17 GMT] [B1004]: Starting the admin service using tcp(host = *, port=0, mode=dedicated) with min threads 4 and max threads of 10

.......etc

Does anyone know what the problem is? I tried this same install on my PC at work which is Win2K and it works fine.

Thanks
