Installed the Jazz team server on Win 7 for evaluation.

Try to start the server so I can run the setup wizard but server won't start - the WAR file deployment fails with failure to create directories.Is there a workaround?

Works OK on XP so must be a win 7 permissions thing

Errors:-

Throwable occurred: java.io.IOException: Unable to create the directory [C:\Prog

Hi Sean,

If you don't have Administrator privileges on the system, try selecting  Non-Administrator in the Launchpad.

For some reason my screenshot didn't paste. At the bottom of launchpad, there is a drop-down box that says "Select user mode for Installation Manager"

 I also notice that if you are using the "Start the Jazz Server" script, be sure to right click it, and "Run as Administrator".

Hope that helps.

>>right click it, and "Run as Administrator".

That was the trick, thanks

Which folder location did you install the JTS? 

If it is something like C:/Program Files/... are you running the start up of the JTS with administrator privileges?

For example for Tomcat

Starting the server on Windows

If you ran the installation procedure by using IBM® Installation Manager, you can start the server from the Windows Start menu. Otherwise, you can start the server from the command line.

  1. To start the server, complete one of these steps:
    1. From the Windows Start menu, click Start > All Programs > IBM Collaborative Lifecycle Management > Start the Jazz Team Server.
    2. To start the server from the command line, change to the JazzInstallDir /server directory and run the following command:
      server.startup.bat
      				
      Note: A separate Apache Tomcat console window opens. If you close this window, the server stops. Depending on your installation options, the server startup might take a few minutes. After the server is started, the startup time in millisecond is displayed in the Tomcat window. For example, a line like this might be displayed: Server startup in 203645 ms.

    Important: If the server is installed in the default Program Files directory, to be able to write to this directory, you must run the startup program as an administrator in Windows Server 2008 R2 or Windows 7.
