Problems installing Standard DARs in new 6.5 Docbase

jasonduke

I am attempting to set up a clean 6.5 SP2 environment with Content Server, Web Publisher, etc.

But when I try to create a new repository, the server config tool fails when trying to install the DARs.

Here is the error as reported in the install.log:

Then in the ServerConfigurator.log, I see this error:

But unfortunately, none of the *_dar.log files referenced actually exists.

This makes me think perhaps the dar installer is crashing when it is launched, but I'm not sure how to find this out.

Could this be a memory issue? Appreciate any tips.

Okay, I think I may have found the culprit...

Just tried to run the DAR in manually using darinstaller.exe, and found this error:

Error reading init file: \Documentum\product\6.5\install\composer\ComposerHead

less\plugins\com.emc.ide.external.dfc_1.0.0\dmbasic\java.ini.

Unable to expand variable reference in:

  java_library_path = "$(JAVA_HOME)\bin\client\jvm.dll"

dmAPIInit() failed with return code 0.Can't register Documentum Server Extension

s.

So it seems like perhaps I just don't have JAVA_HOME set. Interestingly, everything else is working okay.

Not sure this is what's causing the installer to fail, but after trying again with a JAVA_HOME set, it worked fine.
