Standalone Server Problem

I'm having a problem getting it to work as a standalone server. I have been trying using the method listed on the installation page, namely:

java -cp lib:maptool-*.jar net.rptools.maptool.server.MapToolServer

However, when it runs, I get the following error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: net/rptools/maptool/server/MapToolServer

I'll take a look and see what's happening.

Ok, took a look. That line looks to be tailored for a unix based startup. I'm assuming you are using Win* ?

I got the server to run by using exact names instead of the "*". But it still wasn't connectable. Bummer. Looks like it needs some tweaking.

I'll take a closer look when I get some time tonight or tmrw to work on it.

I'm using Windows XP Pro, I've installed Java 5.

What do you mean by exact names instead of *? Could you please be more speciifc?

The "*" character is a special character to the command line. It tells the command line to match anything that looks like what the * is attached to.

The short answer is that what it says in the docs is no longer applicable. I'll take a closer look and probably write a .bat file or something.

Thank you very much for your quick responses

I look forward to a Windows solution.

For the time being I am just running it in a window so there's no big rush.
