The Java variable path needs to point to the parent of the bin that contains the server folder.

For example with JDK7 c:\program files\java\jdk1.7.0_25\jre. If you point it to c:\program files\java\jdk1.7.0_25 then the bridge server will not run.

The log to check for bridge server errors is splunk\var\log\splunk\jbridge.log

Tail this log when you restart Splunk, or when you manually kill java and open DB Connect.

Please tail -f var/log/splunk/dbx.log to check any errors.

Looks like a file system permissions issue according to the first error?
