Thu Nov 11 16:53:37 PST 2004: [RmiJdbc] RmiJdbcServer bound in rmi registryBut when running the "sh setup.sh deploy" , the deployment just displays
init:
deploy:
     [echo] Deploying ears ....and that's it. No errors, no exceptions, nada.
What is the problem? Do I need any special permissions? I have even tried deploying as root and it still just hangs.
Thanks for any help that you might provide.

I ran into the same problem.
"stracing" the hanging process I found that the installer tried to connect to an IP mapped to my hostname in /etc/hosts:
bind(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(0), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, 16) = 0
getsockname(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(38792), sin_addr=inet_addr("0.0.0.0")}, [16]) = 0
connect(6, {sa_family=AF_INET, sin_port=htons(36047), sin_addr=inet_addr("192.168.1.107")}, 16) = -1 EHOSTUNREACH (No route to host)
Problem was that the mapping of my hostname to IP 192.168.1.107 was not valid any more. Updating the IP mapped to the hostname to the current IP AND RERUNNING the setup procedure solved the problem.
