i tried google, youtube for some kind of demo's or instructions .. but couldn't find any.. i tried going through the james server's website and i also tried some article on ibm http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/java/library/j-james1/index.html

but everything in vain.. i am new to these things and i am trying to host a mail server on my machine to send mails using php code.. i downloaded a source package of stable version of james from

http://james.apache.org/download.cgi#Apache_James_2.3.2_is_the_stable_version

the instructions i found told me to redirect to james/bin and run a file called run.bat

but when i run it all i get is

using phoenix home using phoenix tmpdir using java home

and then shutting sown phoenix 4.2

i am installing it on windows 7

can someone help me out with it please..

  • use version 3. On Linux, you have to run as root, dunno about windows. Navigate the james folder and try the following `bin/james help`, `bin/james console`, and edit your question to include the output. – Thufir Aug 17 '12 at 04:43
  • thanks @Thufir but i have windows installed. i will try it :) – Kiran Vemuri Aug 20 '12 at 02:50

    you need to copy and paste the entire error message, not just "shutting down." also, why not use v3? – Thufir Aug 23 '12 at 10:05

According to described symptoms I suppose that you downloaded wrong version (smth like as james-x.x.x-src.zip).
In your case (windows 7) you need other one james-binary-x.x.x.zip
james-binary-x.x.x.zip has the same easy installation. Just unzip files under any directory. launch [INSTALLDIR]\bin\run.bat
