Always starting with -b 0.0.0.0 option

[marcopb]

Hi.. I'm new on JBoss.

I've just finished to install JBoss on my Linux machine but I had problem testing connectivity at http://:8080
I've edited my /etc/hosts file adding editing localhost and IP address of my machine, but I still was not able to connect to 8080 port (only 127.0.0.1 was listening for incoming connection to 8080 port) using web browser.

Then I read some post suggesting to execute ./run.sh with -b 0.0.0.0 option.

Is there a way to always startup JBoss with -b option ? I mean... if I need to edit an XML file or something like that...


Thanks.

Two possibilities:

1) Edit the run.sh so that is always supplies '-b 0.0.0.0'

2) Create a new shell script and have it execute the run.sh script passing -b 0.0.0.0

I prefer option 2.

A really good option for the script in #2 is to start and stop JBoss with an init script in /etc/init.d. In fact there are example init scripts that you can use for this.
