Hello, Iām trying to settup James on my server and seem to be having some troubles.
To create users, it says I have to telnet the host and port. How do I ātelnetā something?
How do I know when itās running, unlike Apache it closes without waiting for you to read everything it did. It scrolled through tons of stuff and closed real fast, is that god?
Can somebody explain to me a, and mx records. My domain register letās me fill these in, but I have no idea what to put there, should I put my ip address?
Since I donāt have a static-ip, I use no-ip.com. Can I just replace my ip address with my account there which seems to act the same way?
Thank you so much, if you can answer any, or all, or these questions Iāll be very grateful.
oh I figured out telnet thanks, but I donāt think itās running, and I donāt know why, it closes automatically on runā¦ and the telnet failed to, and what about 3 and 4?
so I donāt have to have a and mx records? isnāt that the only way to have my domain forward all the email to my server? and tehn let me send mail as if it was from my domain?
Once started youāll see a message saying Avalon is running. This means that Avalon has loaded JAMES and every other needed Block (see /logs/avalon.log) and is now waiting for a socket request. Since at the beginning James is empty, it will not have any local users registered. To register a local user open a telnet session with localhost on port 4555, log in as root (āroot[enter] <password-you-set-in-conf.xml>[enter]ā) and type āhelpā for a list of available commands in the āJAMES remote administrator toolā. It is really a basic set but should allow you to test installation.
Did you see that message ?

A JVM must be present and its location specified in the JAVA_HOME environment variable. Set this on windows at the command prompt with something similar to āset JAVA_HOME=\jdk1.3\binā
And

urmmmm port 4555 says my index.html of james/docs/index.html
I put in teh set java home code and it didnāt say anything, is this good?..
and I couldnāt figure out how to login, I feel so stupidā¦ but login isnāt a command prompt line, and when I put in the stuff with quotes and put in my password it said the file didnāt exist

If you have downloaded a binary distribution, you do not need to build James. Proceed directory to Step 1.
To compile James from sources you need Ant. This is a Java-tailored, XML-configured, extensible build or make system. We are currently using Ant 1.4, which is included in the source distribution.
ok, so I got pretty far along, but now Iām getting a new error:
C:\james-2.2.0>bin\run.bat
Using PHOENIX_HOME: C:\james-2.2.0
Using PHOENIX_TMPDIR: C:\james-2.2.0 emp
Using JAVA_HOME: \jdk1.3\bin
The system cannot find the path specified.
are these variables correct? I know thatās where the file is, a minute ago I got it to get the file correctly but then I closed it, is there a way to get command prompt history?
