Installing JBoss 4.0.0 on Windows XP Professional

[bershath27]

I have a problem in installing JBoss 4.0.0 on windows XP professinal license machine. what happens is the server throws an exception (see below).

is there any solution for this issue?? i have tried to start the server with both jdk 1.5.0 and also with the jdk 1.4.2, but got the same failure message.

and also i have tried changing the RMI port by giving different values. but on the same machine JBoss 3.2 works ok, can somebody help me pls?

thanks in advance.

Looks like Tomcat service is trying to start on port 1098, thus conflicting with the RMI port of the naming service.

Look into
/deploy/jbossweb-tomcat50.sar/server.xml
and check that the connector is listening on port 8080

Also, make sure that you don't any stale instances of JBoss running in the background.

No, i tried all the possibilities that you have stated. and also am not running any service on the port which jboss complains that i'm using. and on this machine i have never installed JBoss beore or any previous version or Apache, Tomcat, IIS or any services.

pls help me on this.
thanks
jerome

further... i tried to install and run Jboss on another two XP machines... they gave me the same results. one of the machines been upgraded with the service pack 2, still failed to start the JBoss server.


but on all the machines, JBoss 3.2 works fine...

thanks
jerome

Why don't you run tomcat on a port other than 8080 and check if it works? Go to server.xml under deploy/jbossweb-tomcat50.sar directory and replace 8080 with 8081.

Some service on your box is using up port 8080.

[bershath27]

Ok, found the solution at last. changing ports wont do any better. because the windowz keep on blocking the port on which your RMI uses.

Problem

this happens when you have activated the windoez personal firewall(??). when this is on, windows keep on blocking the RMI port blindly(as usual) though there's no harm with it.

Solution

you have to disable the personal firewall (which is good for nothing) from the control panel. then restart the jboss server.. works ok...

Advanced

actually there's no collision with the catelina for the Jboss disable catelina NAMING before he opens the RMI port.

thanks for your valued time and efforts in helping me out.
