Problems with Running openHAB as service

Rocco · December 5, 2020, 2:17pm

Platform information:
- Hardware: _i5
- OS: Windows 10
- Java Runtime Environment: Zulu 8
- openHAB version: 2.5.10
Issue of the topic: I followed instructions to install openHAB as a service and I get an error that it ca’t start and then error 1607. I’ve gone through what I can find in related posts and tried a few of the fixes but nothing helped. I noticed in my wrapper config file there are alot of references to KARAF_HOME and KARAF_BASE but I never setup these variables. Created JAVA_HOME, all install steps up to this point went fine. OpenHAB runs fine with start.bat.
If logs where generated please post these here using code fences:
Sorry don’t know what a code fence is: Here is my wrapper log

The environment variable JAVA_HOME is set system wide ?
From every user account you can do

dir %JAVA_HOME%\bin\

and content of that directory will be shown ?

Edite: added the missing % at the end of the environment varialble

Thanks for the reply. It tells me can’t find the path specified. I tried as you wrote it and also with an % after HOME (was that an omission?). I did have it set as a user variable, so deleted that one and created it as a System variable but no change. After the change to system variable, openhab no longer launches. It just stays at “Launching the openHAB runtime…” I assume I created JAVA_HOME correctly the first time since it was launching fine when I had it as a user variable. Any other ideas would be appreciated.

your dir command still doesn’t produce contents of bin but I think my service problem is solved. It was probably stuck on command line command to start because it was already running. I rebooted and OpenHab service is running. I guess the issue was System versus User variable.
