JBoss 5.0.0 CR1: The connection has timed out

[tade256]

Hi,

I can only access my JBoss 5.0.0 CR1 (I also tried it with CR2 same results) through localhost (http://127.0.0.1:8080) but not with my real IP address or a domain name (http://www.xxxxxx.com:8080) with an A record to my IP address.

Everything works fine with JBoss 4.0.1sp1 so it's not a firewall issue, the only difference is the JBoss version.

The error message I receive is:

The connection has timed out
The server at www.xxxxxx.com is taking too long to respond.


The JBoss 5.0.0 is out of the box installation, the only modification I made is that I installed "jboss web services 3.0.3 GA" so I can use web services.
I've just tried it with a completely fresh installation (without ws 3.0.3) with same results.

There are no error messages during server startup.

I'm using Java 1.6.0_07-b06

I hope it's just a configuration issue somewhere in the server.xml or something like that but at this point I have no idea and since it's not a specialized error message I couldn't find anything helpful on the internet.


Please help me.
Thank you in advance,
Geza

See https://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-10179. Yes, that is the 4.2 FAQ, but the solution provided works for 5.0 also.

There is also https://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-9531

The 4.2.x readme.html contained information about this, but the 5.0 readme does not have this information. But hardly anyone read the readme so I guess it doesn't matter.

Thanks again!
