Exception on groupware daemon startup / latest cvs / ubuntu 7.04

[sash777]

Hello,

i am trying to get the latest cvs release working on an ubuntu 7.04
machine.

I followed the wiki installation thorougly and everythings works
as expected; except that when i try to

/opt/open-xchange/sbin/open-xchange-groupware

nothing happens. ps ax shows no new process.

/var/log/open-xchange/open-xchange-console.log shows:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: java.util.concurrent.atomic.AtomicInteger
at com.openexchange.groupware.AbstractOXException.<cl init>(AbstractOXException.java:76)
at java.lang.Class.initializeClass(libgcj.so.70)
at Starter.<init>(Starter.java:111)
at ComfireServer.main(ComfireServer.java:62


I suspected a problem with concurrent.jar. I went both ways, downloading
the .tar.gz, getting the build.xml, doing an "ant dist", moving concurrent/lib/concurrent.jar to /opt/open-xchange/lib/
and as that didnt help i also just renamed the downloaded concurrent.zip
to concurrent.jar as mentioned several times in the forum.

Any idea what i am into here?

Kind regards,
Sash

My resolution for this error

Hi sash777,

This response may be too late for you if you already figured this out, but hopefully it also helps others. I ran into this exact same issue on CentOS 5 and I found that my problem was simply my PATH environment variable. My system has 2 java binaries, the one installed by default at /usr/bin/java, and the other from the JDK installed while working through the tutorial at /usr/java/jdk/bin/java. These are different versions (1.4.2 and 1.5.0_12 respectively), and the PATH environment variable set in /etc/init.d/open-xchange-restart-services (line 53) was finding /usr/bin/java and using that instead of /usr/java/jdk/bin/java
---(original)---
PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

JAVA_HOME has already been set to "/usr/java/jdk", so I changed this PATH variable to:
PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

I also have moved /usr/bin/java to /usr/bin/java-1.4.2 and executed:
# ln -s /usr/java/jdk/bin/java /usr/bin/java

so that /usr/java/jdk/bin/java will always be used. This resolved my problem and now 'open-xchange-restart-services start' executes cleanly and successfully.

-----------------------------------------------
For search engines and future googlers, here was the error output while executing '/etc/init.d/open-xchange-restart-services start':

Error: connection failed to host: 127.0.0.1; nested exception is:
java.net.ConnectException: Connection refused
admindaemon startup still in progress, waiting...

Along with this in the restart.log file:
