Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 900620
APR natives are not being loaded if UAC is in place (Windows Server 2008 R2)
Last modified: 2015-05-17 21:29:13 EDT
Affects: Release Notes project_key: JBPAPP6 I did not manage to make EAP6 CR1 to load libs in *C:\tmp\jboss-eap-6.0\modules\org\jboss\as\web\main\lib\win-x86_64* under a non-Administrator user and with UAC in place. When I switched to a user granted with Administrator rights + I disabled UAC ([DisableUACUtility|http://www.disableuac.com/] ), natives were loaded with no problem. (!) We must note it in the release notes :-(
According to some windows-skilled guys, this is really weird. I will try to confirm it on another machine.
Have you used cygwin's unzip to uncompress the archive? It sets some weird security settings

I changed the Release Notes Flag to "?" as it needs further work before being published.
Michal, Has there been any movement on this issue? Did this turn out to be a problem with Cygwin's unzipper permissions or something else? To complete the release note we need info about the cause of the problem and how it was fixed (or a workaround.
Setting for exclusion from 6.1.1 Release notes and removing NEEDINFO request.
I reproduced this with: - EAP 6.1.1 - Java 1.7.0_21 (64 bit) - Windows 2008 R2 - UAC default - a simple user which does not belong to the Administrator group - unzipped with "winrar" Enabled "native" on the web subsystem and at startup I got: 12:51:23,286 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-2) MSC000001: Failed to start service jboss.web.connector.http : org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.web.connector.http: Failed to start service at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.run(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1767) [jboss-msc-1.0.4.GA-redhat-1.j ar:1.0.4.GA-redhat-1] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor.runWorker(Unknown Source) [rt.jar:1.7.0_21] at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(Unknown Source) [rt.jar:1.7.0_21] at java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) [rt.jar:1.7.0_21] Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class org.apache.tomcat.jni.OS at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.AprEndpoint.init(AprEndpoint.java:582) at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11AprProtocol.init(Http11AprProtocol.java:104) at org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector.init(Connector.java:984) at org.jboss.as.web.WebConnectorService.start(WebConnectorService.java:273) at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.startService(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1811) [jboss-msc-1.0.4.GA-r edhat-1.jar:1.0.4.GA-redhat-1] at org.jboss.msc.service.ServiceControllerImpl$StartTask.run(ServiceControllerImpl.java:1746) [jboss-msc-1.0.4.GA-redhat-1.j ar:1.0.4.GA-redhat-1] ... 3 more Next I right-clicked my JBoss directory (and repeated for Java directory) and in the properties, security tab, set "Full control" to "Allow" for my user. Starting JBoss now works just fine; I double checked with sysinternals "Process Explorer" and the dll's were loaded indeed.
I am closing this BZ because this issues was fixed by proper documentation already.
