Spark does not start at all

Tom_Chadwin · August 1, 2006, 12:45pm

But how can you do that if Spark won’'t start up at all?

Cheers

Just noticed that, although no log files are generated in my AMD Spark installation folder, there is a text file created with details of a Java error. I’‘m sure people don’'t want me to post the whole contents of the file, so if anyone is interested in it, can they tell me which section to post here?

Thanks

I am also having a problem starting Spark on serveral laptops here. Spark launches fine for about a dozen of our users, but two of them can’‘t start Spark at all. They can’‘t even launch the 2.0 beta. I’‘ve tried everything suggested here such as different system JRE versions & using the beta, but to no avail. Everyone is running WinXP SP2 with the same patch levels & JRE versions. The one user has a newer Core Duo laptop, but the other can’'t get it to start on a regular Pentium M.

At the bottom of my post is the summary portion of the error log being generated in the Spark folder. From the JVM version mentioned in the error, it must be using the JVM bundled with Spark and not the system JVM. I’‘ve also tried the “online” installer, and get the same error when it’'s using the system JVM (1.5.0_07-b03).

I’'m about ready to give up and switch everyone to something like Exodus, which is a shame because I like the integration between Spark & Wildfire.

Thanks

Hi,

what you did post is more a JVM than a Spark bug. Would you please post a full javacore using the 1.5_07 JVM so one can see where the problem does occur?

Sure, here’‘s the full error log. The affected users have since uninstalled Spark in favor of using Exodus. What’'s really strange is that for one of them, Spark would work OK one day but not the next.
