I want to permanently add /mingw64/bin to the MSYS2 PATH.
I have tried:
export PATH=$PATH:/mingw64/bin
It works until I exit.
After I restart MSYS2 the path has reset to what it was before.
What do I need to do to add /mingw64/bin to the PATH so the change persists after I quit and restart the MSYS2 console?
You shouldn't manually add /??/bin to the PATH in the MSYS2 terminal.
It happens automatically (along with other changes to environment variables) when you open the terminal for the environment you want to use.
There should be different shortcuts for different environments, the one you're looking for should be named along the lines of ... MinGW 64-bit.
The shortcuts point to executables in C:\msys64, which you can run directly (this one is mingw64.exe).
I’ve added a GRAILS_HOME environment variable, which points to the folder in which I extracted the Grails distribution zip, and I’ve added %GRAILS_HOME%\bin to my path. Yet after I open a new command prompt, the “grails” command is still not found. Does anyone have any clue as to why this is happening?
I’m running Grails 2.2 on Windows 7.
I have the same problem on Windows 7 64 bit and Grails version 2.*
By removing local neither maven repository nor installed plugins repository doesn't help.
I found - just set properties of %GRAILS_HOME%/bin/grails.bat and startGrails.bat as Run in compatibility mode: Windows XP (Service Pack 3).
To do that You need to have local PC Administrators rights.
/igors
have you create JAVA_HOME in there?
Maybe you are experiencing [STS-2530] Problem deploying Grails App if workspace path has a space. Jira shows the issue as resolved but it would not hurt to check that you do not have a space in your workspace path as it my trip up grails.
Do the following.
Go to your command prompt, execute the Path command. If everything has been set right your paths should show up as complete paths starting with C:... If the paths show up with the % sign that means your paths need to be set correctly. I did noticed that in your example you have used the forward slash - I am assuming that is a typo, because that will be a problem.
Another way to trouble shoot the issue is CD to the location C:\Grails\bin, execute the command grails.bat, if it executes you are in a good place that means you have to tweak your paths - following this path might give you a clue about other issues....
You might want to check the bin folder of your grails installation. The grails.bat file could be missing. I had this problem today and solved it by downloading the zip file again.
I'm just getting started with erlide, using a fresh install of Eclipse Juno and erlide. I've used erlang on my system (64-bit Fedora) from the command-line, so I'm just trying to make the switch. I started with R15B, and have upgraded to R15B02 (built from source) as suggested by another SO post. If I right-click on a .erl file and pick Run As..Erlang Application, the IDE freezes and I have to kill it. If I try to run from Run Configurations and specify the module and function, it will start to execute, but never progresses beyond 27%. This is on a simple function that runs instantaneously on the command line.
Please try with the latest nightly from http://erlide.org/update_nightly, we did some work about similar issues, I hope they will solve yours too.
It would help to see the log from /erlide.log.
You can also open the launch configuration from run->configurations and see if there is some weird value in any of the fields in the "runtime" tab, most probably the node host name.

I'm ask/answering this question because it hung me up & it's likely someone else will have the same problem.
Install of RabbitMQ x64 v2.8.6 on Windows Server 2008 x64.
After Erlang install using default install location to C:\Program Files\erl5.9.2, I'm attempting to start the server via running the rabbitmq-service.bat. Fail:
Please either set ERLANG_HOME to point to your Erlang installation
or place the RabbitMQ server distribution in the Erlang lib folder.
Problem is the .bat file does not have the correct subpath. with 5.9.2 (R15B02) version of erlang. My ERLANG_HOME directory is set correctly, but the script does not use it correctly for this version of Erlang, which, it appears to this Erlang noob to have a new subdirectory called "erts-5.9.2" which is causing the problems. Maybe someone intimate with these scripts can describe how to make this work correctly without the hack workaround I'm about to describe?
1- Set environment variable:
Variable name : ERLANG_HOME
Variable value: C:\Program Files (x86)\erl6.4
note: don't include bin on above step.
2- Add %ERLANG_HOME%\bin to the PATH environmental variable:
Variable name : PATH
Variable value: %ERLANG_HOME%\bin
This works well.
There are several RabbitMQ control .bat files on windows. Every one you use needs to get changed to reflect the Erlang path correctly. In this example, I'm editing the rabbitmq-server.bat because it's one of the easier ones... any of the .bat files you want to run will need this hack to get them to work, with the rabbitmq_service.bat file being the most involved to adjust.
editing that rabbitmq_server.bat file, you can see on about line 48 or so there's a check to see if the erl.exe is found, but the path isn't correct:
if not exist "!ERLANG_HOME!\bin\erl.exe" (
that path does not match the file structure for the 5.9.2 version of Erlang. I fixed this by simply removing this path check from about line 48 to 58, then, where the .bat actually makes a call to the erl.exe on about line 129 which reads:
"!ERLANG_HOME!\bin\erl.exe"
I simply hardcoded the path to my erl.exe:
"C:\Program Files\erl5.9.2\erts-5.9.2\bin\erl.exe"
With the pathing correct, the rabbitmq .bat files will run.
I had the similar issue, modifying ERLANG_HOME in .bat files did not work. Then I tried echo %ERLANG_HOME% in command prompt, that did not print the environment variable value(I could see that ERLANG_HOME environment variable has been created under advance system settings), that lead me to believe that I need to restart server for 64 bit installation of Erlang. After rebooting server, It worked like a charm. I hope this helps someone.
Just to share an up-to-date answer as of 2019: On Windows Server 2019, after setting up the environment variable, a restart is required to solve the problem.
I got into same kind of problem.
I solved it by doing three changes as given below.
Update Path variable "ERLANG_HOME" : "C:\Program Files\erl8.0" in Environment Variables.
Upadte "Path" variable "Path" : ";%ERLANG_HOME%\bin;"
Give urself FULL CONTROL permissions over "Program Files" in C drive.
It worked for me in this way.
This problem still occurs in Erlang 18.3 (erl7.3) and RabbitMQ 3.6.9 on Windows when upgrading from any older version of RabbitMQ to version 3.6.9. The solution as already stated here is to manually set ERLANG_HOME with 'setx -m ERLANG_HOME "C:\Program Files\erl7.3"' before starting the service.
What happens is that the RabbitMQ 3.6.9 installer removes the environment variable ERLANG_HOME from the system while removing the older version of RabbitMQ. Then, when it proceeds to the installation step, it does not put back the ERLANG_HOME variable. Then, the batch files that start up RabbitMQ cannot find Erlang. They try to find Erlang's home directory using "where.exe" but it always fails after an upgrade.
RabbitMQ's installer also does not kill all of the Erlang background processes, causing many of its files to be undeletable due to the Windows "file in use" problem. This leaves behind "files in use" in %APPDATA%\RabbitMQ and "C:\Program Files\RabbitMQ." These processes are "erl.exe," "erlsrv.exe," and "epmd.exe." The RabbitMQ installer should taskkill these processes after shutting down the RabbitMQ Windows service.
RabbitMQ is rather clunky on Windows.
Download Erlang or OTP - Only one Version of OTP should be installed
Download RabbitMQ installer
Install both exe file as Administrator
Set class path for Erlang. (Setting classpath is a bit troublesome, so follow these steps)
Set a new path with name ERLANG_HOME and value C:\Program Files\erl-23.1 (do not copy bin folder here)
Edit System "path" and add %ERLANG_HOME%\bin
Go to Start - Open rabbitmq command promt and run
rabbitmq-plugins enable rabbitmq_management
Navigate to localhost:15672
Use guest/guest to login
Interesting that this worked for you. There is record of a two bugs in Erl5.9.2 that cause an incomplete installation where %ERLANG_HOME%\bin is not installed.
Either of
* Installed 64bit erlang on 32bit machine
* "The program can't start because MSVCR100.dll is missing from your computer."
https://groups.google.com/d/topic/erlang-programming/wGtFLzapiQ0/discussion
Try 5.9.1 or any other version. They also mention making the future versions of the installer alert you if it fails.
I just had the same problem mentioned here. I installed otp_win64_R15B02 on a Windows 7 machine and everything worked perfectly, but I used the same installer on a Windows 2008 server and the bin directory was not created. I then uninstalled otp_win64_R15B02 and downloaded the otp_win64_R15B02_with_MSVCR100_installer_fix and the bin directory was created.
I suspect the reason it worked on my Windows 7 system is that I have Visual Studio installed and the required libraries were already available which allowed the otp_win64_R15B02 installer to work correctly.
Oh, and if you're installing Erlang to run RabbitMQ the RabbitMQ install will succeed with the broken installer but installing otp_win64_R15B02_with_MSVCR100_installer_fix after RabbitMQ will not work, just un-install and re-install RabbitMQ to resolve this.
Just give C:\Program Files\erl10.6\ not C:\Program Files\erl10.6\bin\erl.exe in the environment variable. If you open the server.bat file I came to know the issueenter image description here
I think this is encoding issue on windows.I see a correct value but I write echo %ERLANG_HOME% on console the value come with question mark. These steps fix it.
1.go environment variable window
2.edit ERLANG_HOME item
3.copy the value, open notepad and paste there
4.copy again on notepad and paste to edit window
5.apply and exit window
6.close command line tools and reopen
7.run rabbitmq bat file.
I solved it in a quick and dirty way,without naming path variables
I've opened the bat file and replaced every occurrence of
!ERLANG_HOME!\bin\erl.exe
with hard coded path for example might be diffrent path for you because of diffrent version
C:\Program Files\erl10.3\erts-10.3\bin\erl.exe
and replaced
%RABBITMQ_HOME%\escript\rabbitmq-plugins
with
C:\Program Files\RabbitMQ Server\rabbitmq_server-3.7.14\escript\rabbitmq-plugins
Even I was this problem. The issue was the environment variable ERLANG_HOME=c:\Program Files\erl9.0 which was never existed.
I cross checked the path. The correct path was c:\Program Files\erl9.3.
After correcting the
ERLANG_HOME=c:\Program Files\erl9.3
the problem solved. So, definitely it is a path issue.
In my case, it should be installed erlang using admin role running
If above solutions doesn't work for you then you can try following
Find another compatible version of erlang for your rabbit mq e.g. for rabbit 3.7.x erlang version 20.3.x to 22.0.x all are compatible .
Right click newly downloaded erlang version and from properties select the option to unblock the file .
Run the erlang with admin persssion .
Re run rabbit mq exe
I am relatively new to dealing with command line issues, compiling programs, and UNIX. Coming from a PHP background, I just fired off MAMP and never worried about this kind of stuff.
I am diving into Rails, and running into some issues. I tried to create a .bash_profile in my home directory to create some shortcuts for myself. I added /usr/local/git/bin to my .profile file, but it seems to have no effect on my PATH variable inside a new terminal window (i.e. it only lasts the session).
The .bash_profile seemed to persist across logins, but once I had that setup, Rails stopped working as expected! I would run rails server in my application's root directory, and Rails would create a new app called 'server' with another directory tree inside my existing app. It does this even with an empty .bash_profile. But I delete the .bash_profile, and everything works like normal.
I am in over my head here - I have very little understanding of how this all works. Any advice on where to look? Or am I missing something obvious?
Post what you added to your .bash_profile. To pre-pend something to your path the syntax is:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
to append you swap the "/usr/local/bin" and $PATH
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin
After you make changes to your .bash_profile you can make them available in the current terminal session by running source .bash_profile. Then if you run echo $PATH you can see the updated PATH. You should try running rails --version in your different configurations to see if the version is changing. That may account for your odd behavior.
