Tomcat 6 & Jboss 4.2.3 conflicts

[robb4j]

I have two software packages trying to run on the same server. The first package uses Tomcat 6 (no JBoss) the second package uses JBOSS 4.2.3.

Both packages run on Windows Server 2003 as services. If I start the first package and then start the JBoss package I cannot access the JBoss application. Attempts to get to port 8080 just hang as do attempts to get to the console. The JBoss service will also not shutdown cleanly, attempts to shutdown result in a message indicating the app terminated unexpectedly.

If I start JBoss first followed by the Tomcat package then the JBoss app works fine but the Tomcat app does not.

This seems like a classic port conflict but I have been unable to locate the port causing the issues. I have used the services binding manager to change the jboss ports to three different configurations but the results are always the same.

As these are packages I do not have access to the code. Any ideas on how to determine and resolve the conflict (other than running on individual servers) will be appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Robb4J,

Here is a description of how to use netstat to look at port number for various operating systems.

A suggestion: run JBoss AS from the command prompt until you have the port issues resolved - the console log will identify the conflicting ports. Once you have the ports conflicts fixed, you can run it as a service again.
