Cannot start ES5

[elaine]

Hi all.

I am now installing a fresh new instance of ES5, but the server won't start.

I found the following error in Console.log
===
Exception in thread "Reference Handler"
java.lang.IllegalMonitorStateException
*******at java.lang.Object.notifyAll(Native Method)
*******at java.lang.ref.ReferenceQueue.enqueue(ReferenceQueu e.java:68)
*******at java.lang.ref.Reference$ReferenceHandler.run(Refer ence.java:146)
===
Can anyone give me a suggestion on what's happening?

For the config file, I only change the port number from 8080 to 15000

First try changing the Configuration.xml port to 8080 or 8081 and seeing if that helps. If it doesn't, try a fresh installation. I haven't seen that error before, so it's possible that you got a bad download.

Thanks, I get above error gone, but I still cannot start the instance

I've got the following screen and hang

any ideas for this situation? There's nothing on Console.log

Update: I am running the ES5 in VPS, maybe there is a problem on threading / memory? Any experience in dealing with it?

It's possible that the problem is trying to run ES5 in VPS. It's also possible that it's the version of Java you are running, because I don't think we have tested ES5 against IcedTea. Before I suggest that you install the latest Java 1.6 (not 1.7), try starting ES5 using safemode. When starting the way you are starting, the JVM needs more memory than when starting using safemode.

I assume that this is a development instance of ES5, although I'm rather confused why you would pay for a development instance that is that weak. Most developers either just run ES5 locally on their desktop or else use a server that has a reasonable amount of memory and concurrency. See the manual's article on Hardware for more info.

edit: you may also need to check your file permissions. See Installing to a Remote Linux Server for more info.
