SUMMARY

This article explains a problem that will prevent Microsoft Windows users from starting the Audium Server.

SYMPTOMS

The Audium Server does not load correctly. A behavior similar to the following occurs instead:

type Exception report message Internal Server Error description The server encountered an internal error (Internal Server Error) that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
exception javax.servlet.ServletException: AUDIUM SERVER ERROR: An error occurred during initialization of the server: AUDIUM_HOME is not defined
at com.audium.server.controller.Controller.init(Unknown Source)
at rg.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.loadServlet(StandardWrapper.java:918)
at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.allocate(StandardWrapper.java:655)
at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapperValve.invoke(StandardWrapperValve.java:2
3)

RESOLUTION

One of the following is causing an Audium Server startup error:

1. You did not reboot your computer after installing Audium
2. The AUDIUM_HOME variable is not specified
3. You are using an unsupported JDK or J2SE

* Reboot your computer if you have not done so after installation

* Make sure that the environment variable for AUDIUM_HOME is set correctly:
(Windows users)
1. Run the "regedit" application (administrator privileges are required to make registry changes).
2. Follow path: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ApacheTomcat\ Parameters
3. Modify "JVM Option Count" to 3 (make sure it's in decimal format).
4. Create a new "String Value" and give it the name: "JVM Option Number 2"
5. 5. Double-click the newly created string value.
6. Under "Value data:" enter "-DAudium.Home=AUDIUM_HOME" where AUDIUM_HOME is the full path of the Audium directory (e.g. "C:\Program Files\Audium\").
7. Restart Windows.

* Make sure that you are using the required version of Java.
Audium 3.X requires Java 2 Standard Edition SDK (J2SE) version 1.3.1_06. The 1.3.1_06 J2SE can be downloaded from Sun Microsystems at http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/download.html Java 1.3.1_06 comes packaged with some Java application servers, however, a separate download may be required depending on the application server used. Please use the _06 version as it fixes bugs that affect Audium 3.
Also, please note that installations that attempt to use version 1.4.0 will not function properly.
