"Cannot start post office" error when try to start jboss server

Hi everyone,

I'm using the JBoss Enterprise SOA Platform 4.2.0 and fail to start jboss server due to the belowed error. What I don't understand is why the error message asked that "Are you sure you have given each node a unique node id during installation?". I did NOT give any node ID during the installation. In fact, all I did for installation was to unzip the soa-4.2.0.GA_CP01.zip file to a desired directory location. Once I unzipped it, I just go to <soa 4.2.0.GA_CP01 location>\jboss-as\bin to execute "run.bat" to start up the server and this belowed error is shown. I would greatly appreaciate if someone can tell me what to do to overcome this error. Thanks very much. (btw, I’m posting the same question to the jboss forum so if someone know the solution to my issue, you can either post your answer on the forum or email me directly. Thanks very much in advance).
