Stardog on Windows

[aml...@pitt.edu]

Hello,

I am currently trying to run Stardog using our universities unix Timesharing Service and in the quick guide I have completed setting up STARDOG_HOME and copying over the stardog license. Whenever I try to start stardog-admin I am greeted with this error: (this is with both windows 7 and XP)

Unrecognized VM option '+UseCompressedOops'
Could not create the Java virtual machine.

Whenever I try to ./stardog-admin server start I am greeted with:

./stardog-admin: mktemp: command not found
Failed to create a temporary file
Starting Stardog server in background, see stardog.log for more information.
./stardog-admin: [: -eq: unary operator expected
usage: tail [+/-[n][lbc][f]] [file]
       tail [+/-[n][l][r|f]] [file]

I am in the correct directory, I am not super experienced with unix which is definitely a problem. I just want to know if anyone has any suggestions to what the problem may be?

Thanks

You are trying to run Stardog on Unix or on Windows? They are profoundly different things.

 

Unrecognized VM option '+UseCompressedOops'

You must use a 64-bit JVM to run Stardog. This probably means you are trying to run on a 32-bit JVM, which isn't going to work.

But that's orthogonal to running on Unix or Windows.

 

Whenever I try to ./stardog-admin server start I am greeted with:

./stardog-admin: mktemp: command not found
Failed to create a temporary file
Starting Stardog server in background, see stardog.log for more information.
./stardog-admin: [: -eq: unary operator expected

       tail [+/-[n][l][r|f]] [file]

Is this on Unix or Windows?

On Windows, use the provided .bat file to start Stardog.

If this is on Unix, what version of Unix and what shell?

My suggestion would be to help me understand which operating system you are trying to use. ;>

I am currently trying to get it to work using either. All above errors occurred while trying to run Stardog on my universities Unix Timeshare (accessed via a windows pc).

Whenever I just try to open up the windows batch file (.bat) on my machines one running windows XP and the other running windows 7 it will just open a command prompt for approximately 2 seconds and just close.

Thanks

Okay, that's a bit more helpful, but we're still a long way from being able to help you. We need to know:

1. what JDK is on that Unix box

2. what shell you are using on that Unix box

3. what version of Unix is running on that box

These are questions that, if you don't know how to answer them, are good for the university help desk. We can't really help you with basic Unix usage.

Right. But the stardog.bat has to be run with commands from a terminal; you can't just double click on it, as it won't know how to run itself without arguments.

The Quick Start Guide explains which arguments Stardog requires to run; you will need to pass those to it via the batch file. That's how command line programs work on Windows (and Unix).

Sorry,

I just have another question to ask if you don't mind answering. On the XP system I am using when I open any of the Batch files I get the same 2 seconds and close. When I run them on windows 7 both the stardog and stardog-admin batch file gives me the same 2 seconds and than close, but the stardog-shell will open and allow me to type out commands.

So this statement has me a little confused: "Right. But the stardog.bat has to be run with commands from a terminal; you can't just double click on it, as it won't know how to run itself without arguments.

As I can't open the batch file so how do I pass those argument?

I am not going to ignore my complete lack of knowledge in the subject I am just trying to figure out what is meant by that statement. Basically if I can't double click on it to open up a command prompt to feed it arguments, how do I give it the arguments?

The 2 commands that "run for 2 seconds and then quit" require arguments to be passed to them.

stardog-shell does *not* require arguments to be passed to it.

That explains the difference you are seeing.

As I can't open the batch file so how do I pass those argument?

There is some kind of command running facility in Windows; you can pass arguments via it. Or you can open a terminal window and type the commands by hand.

Again, I can't really offer much help in how to do this on Windows as it's not an OS that I use daily.

Google is yr friend. The first link for "How do I run command line programs on Windows" looks very instructive:

The Stardog command line clients are not interactive, they run until they complete whatever operation you tell them to.

To run the batch scripts on Windows do the following:

1. Fire up a windows command prompt (Start > Run > Type 'cmd' > Hit enter)
2. Navigate to the directory where Stardog is installed (use cd commands)
3. Ensure STARDOG_HOME is set (see if set STARDOG_HOME prints anything, if not type set STARDOG_HOME=C:\<Your Stardog Directory>)
4. Run Stardog by typing stardog.bat or stardog-admin.bat

2 of the 3 are not interactive in the sense you mean; stardog-shell *is* interactive in the sense you mean. FYI.

My bad, wasn't aware of stardog-shell

Thanks for all of the help guys, I have it up and running. Didn't realize it was as easy as using command prompt to delegate the commands.
I appreciate the quick responses.
Thanks
