Log File Not Found - Mule Server Installation

Question

I am installing Mule Server (Version 3.6.1) on Windows Server R2. I have already set the JAVA_HOME to proper location.

On running startup.bat, it encounter following error:

File not found - MULE-ENTERPRISE-3.6.1\LOGS\MULE_EE.LOG

Any help?

Answer 1

Close the mule_ee.log file if opened or ctrl-c if you are running "tail -f" on this file. This has resolved the issue for me.

The JRE mismatch issue is also observed in your logs, which is not directly related to File not found - MULE-ENTERPRISE-3.6.1\LOGS\MULE_EE.LOG

What is not clear is this issue doesn't always happen when the file is opened or tailed. Maybe it has something to do with when the file being rolled over during the startup.

Answer 2

You need to upgrade your JRE version to minimum 1.7.0_60 (or above); as this is what is required for Groovy.

Please upgrade to the latest supported version and then try again.
