Re: [MAS-discuss] Access Denied

[Mikael R. <mik...@fr...>]

Hello,

Effectively I have windows XP SP1 installed on my computer, and I'm a 
french guy.

I've looked a bit into MAS to try to understand what is going on and 
I've see that the environments variable were not defined 
(%MAS_DIRECTORY% and %PATH%.

I'm not using the administrator account but I use an account with 
administrator rights so I don't think it is the source of the problem.

I've installed the version 1.6.5 of MAS and I was able to run the server 
(file mode) and the GUI client.

After that i've modifed the environment variable of MAS to point on the 
version 1.6.6q and I was able to run rhe server file. But when I've 
launched the guiclient I've got the following error :

C:\Program Files\mas1.6.6q\lib\classes>"C:\Program 
Files\mas1.6.6q\bin\runmasgui.bat"
C:\Program Files\mas1.6.6q\lib\classes>rem Run the mas GUI - connect 
with the se
rver started with runmas
C:\Program Files\mas1.6.6q\lib\classes>rem If a parameter is passed in, 
it will

C:\Program Files\mas1.6.6q\lib\classes>rem otherwise a hard-coded number 
will be

C:\Program Files\mas1.6.6q\lib\classes>set port=18273
C:\Program Files\mas1.6.6q\lib\classes>if not "" == "" set port=
C:\Program Files\mas1.6.6q\lib\classes>cd C:\Program Files\mas1.6.6q\lib
C:\Program Files\mas1.6.6q\lib>cd classes
C:\Program Files\mas1.6.6q\lib\classes>java MA_Client localhost 18273
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: MA_Client

The problem come from a syntax error in the script runmasgui.bat because 
the class filename is not MA_Client but CL_Client.

After I've modified the batch file I was able to run MAS in command line.

However in GUI mode there is always an access denied error. I think the 
problem is that the client can't connect to the server. I will make some 
other tests later.

Regards.
