JXTA Shell Troubleshooting Answers
The JXTA.exe failed on Window NT with the exception "Cannot find OS JRE."
You cannot run two instances of the platform on the same peer.
HTTP was configured, but you want to modify the configuration
The jxta.exe
failed to run
Try first to remove any configuration files
jxtaConfig, PlatformConfig,
PlatformPeerGroup, and the cm
directory.
If you still have problem, you may want check if you
have IE 5.5 installed.
We recommend that you use the IE 5.5
version.
Make sure that you don't have an already running instance of the shell on your system (Task Manager)
If you have Java installed on your
system you can also run directly:
java -cp
../lib/jxta.jar;../lib/jxtashell.jar net.jxta.impl.peergroup.Boot
The JXTA.exe failed on Window NT with the exception "Cannot find OS JRE."
Known problem in the exec program that will be fixed in the next release.
For now run the Shell via the:
java -cp ../lib/jxta.jar;../lib/jxtashell.jar net.jxta.impl.peergroup.Boot
You cannot
run two instances of the platform on the same peer.
You need
to change the TCP/IP transport port binding to enable two instances
of the
platform running on the same node. This can be done via
the configuration tool
Cannot find peers via the 'peers' command
Wait at least 5 minutes. The rendezvous may be busy. You cannot
find peers unless the are running on your subnet or you have
connected to a rendezvous. You can check your rendezvous
connection via the Shell command rdvstatus.
JXTA>rdvstatus
======= Rendezvous status ======
This peer is not connected to any rendezvous
This peer is not a rendezvous
The command should tell you that you are connected to a least one
rendezvous. If it is not the case. Try to reconfigure Jxta with a
different JXTA router (see Quick
Shell Configuration) or by enabling HTTP you may be behind NAT.
Try to ping the IP address of the JXTA router to see if you can
be located under
your network configuration.
If you are behind a firewall or NAT
you MUST configure the HTTP transport.
If you are behind
a firewall, you need to have enter a valid web proxy.
At any
time you can reconfigure JXTA by entering the Shell command
'peerconfig'
the mext time you restart the Shell
the config tool will be restarted.
Currently the JXTA configuration tool does not support well systems which have
multiple network interfaces. We expect to make the configuration more sophisticated in the future. For now you may have to disable the network interface you do not want JXTA to use, you may also modify by hand the PlatformConfig endpoint address to hardcode the IP address you want to use.
HTTP was
configured, but you want to modify the configuration
Run
peerconfig and restart JXTA the configuration tool will run
