How to Istall WorkflowServer + FormManager + ARES

[Former Community Member]

Hi, i've read the posts and the adobe documentation (are they scared that somebody could understand how get it right !*? ... geez, is that bad).



Anyway:



1) i`ve got jdk1.5.0_06 and jre1.5.0_06

2) installed Workflowserver (jboss automatically deployment). Didn't run the ConfigurationManager.

3) installed FormManager (jboss automatically deployment). Didn't run the ConfigurationManager.

4) installed ARES --> this didn't work cause ARES didn't find any JVM.



Any hint?



Thanks,

We have had the same problem, we solved it by using another version of JDK. I know the documentation says 1.4.2 or above, but we found out that above means, above 1.4.2 and under 1.5.0 :-) .



Hope this helps you

Actually, several people have reported problems with 1.4.2_10. We use 1.4.2_08, and it seems to work very nicely.

Ok,<br /><br />this installation seems to have been successful. I must say i'm not really sure, cause i dind't tested the whole thing.<br /><br />For everyone who will unlikely have to set up these technologies (WorkflowServer + FormManager + ARES) a short guide on how i proceeded:<br /><br />1) installed j2sdk1.4.2_11<br />many problems are linked to the version of the JVM --><br />see Soren H Nielsen's and Howard Treisman's posts in <a href="https://forums.adobe.com/cgi-bin/webx?13@@.3bbf0b25/2">Valerio Chiessi, "How to Istall WorkflowServer + FormManager + ARES" #3, 22 Mar 2006 3:35 am</a><br />and Clifton Cline's in <a href="https://forums.adobe.com/cgi-bin/webx?13@@.3bbe9f33/12">Stone_Golem, "Installing WorkFlow with ARES, Form Manager and Forms" #13, 22 Mar 2006 6:18 am</a><br /><br />I couln't find a rule in this misbehaviour. this all seems to be very random: some times goes and some times not.<br /><br />2) installed the Workflowserver, config and deploy JBoss automatically, don't run config manager.<br /><br />3) installed the FormManager, config and deploy JBoss automatically, don't run config manager.<br /><br />4) installed ARES, config and deploy JBoss manually<br /><br />5) Run Configuration Manager, turnkey option<br /><br />6) stopped JBoss<br /><br />7) manually deployed ARES to JBoss<br />here i found nothing anywhere on the subject how to deploy manually this application after have deployed automatically the first two:<br />for instance deploying ARES manually you have to copy <product root>/conf/login-config.xml to <appserver root>/server/all/conf.
