jboss-4.2.2.GA on Win2K3 does not respond to HTTP requests

[transclusion]

Hi all,
Need help with jboss-4.2.2.GA on Win2K3 with JDK 1.5.0.14 that does not respond to http://localhost:8080 (and http://127.0.0.1:8080) requests. Tested both with MSIE and Firefox, still getting a request timeout error after quite a long time (>10 min).

Using netstat -ab, indicates that port 8080 is listening:

TCP myMachine:8080 myMachine:0 LISTENING 5304
[java.exe]

Startup has as follows:

I have the same problem on Linux for JBoss 4.2.2

[peterj]

According to the output, and baring any firewall issues, you should be able to open a browser on the box on which JBossAS is running an access it using http://localhost:8080. Note that accessing it via http://myhostname:8080 will fail!

Thanks PeterJ. It seems that there is no problem with the firewall because if I run Apache Tomcat instead of jBoss everything works fine, that is I’m getting response on http://localhost:8080.

[peterj]

If you said that you were running a browser from another machine and attempting to access the app server using http://myMachine:8080, and it was not working, then I would understand it. But because you have a browser open on the same machine as the app server and are using the exact url "http://localhost:8080", then it should work.

What happens if you use the url http://localhost:8080/jmx-console? I'm asking because maybe just the home page is messed up.

[transclusion]

Using http://localhost:8080/jmx-console, I'm still getting a timeout after a few minutes. Since the issue persists, I'm now considering reverting to an older version to see was happens. Thanks again PeterJ.

[jaikiran]

Sometime back i had run into a similar issue and for me it had turned out to be my setting in IE/Firefox. I had proxy enabled in my browser but had missed out adding "localhost" in the "No Proxy for" ("Do not use proxy for") list in the IE/Firefox settings. Adding localhost to that list had fixed the issue for me. See if you have a similar problem.

But that does not explain why you are able to access Tomcat.

if I run Apache Tomcat instead of jBoss everything works fine, that is I’m getting response on http://localhost:8080.

Same problem here (Ubuntu 7.0.4, JDK 1.5 u11).

I had apache running on 8888 and it worked; took that down, started up JBoss on 8888 but all I get is empty pages (no connection timeout)... really weird

Does anybody have any ideas?

Regards

Alejandro

[peterj]

If you ask the browser to show you the source, is anything there?

Also, try some of the telnet requests jaikiran mentions at http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=127760 (adjusting the command to use the ports you have specified).

What is the exact URL you are using? What happens if you use http://localhosts:8888/jmx-console?

[elvisd]

have you started jboss using the parameter -b?

i had the same problem, now i start using

sh run.sh -c default - b 0.0.0.0

in windows should be something like

run -c default -b 0.0.0.0

and works great in ubuntu and in windows

[ronyjoy]

there is a work around
modify ur server.xml inside the
\jboss-4.2.2.GA\jboss-4.2.2.GA\server\default\deploy\jboss-web.deployer
<Connector port="8080" address="give ur ip address" ... />
