can get to jboss portal via localhost - nothing else can

[steverar]

- downloaded JBoss Portal + JBoss AS 4.2.2
- unzipped and running on Windows XP SP2 and OS X 10.5.2 and OS X 10.4.11
- going to http://localhost:8080/portal/index.html works
- cannot get to it from any other machine

Turned off firewalls on all of he machines. Still couldn't get in. The windows box is now a hungarian porn loader but the Macs are OK.

Thought it was port, so I changed the port. No go.

Thought it was router, so I connected directly and manually set IP addr's. Still no go.

I can bring Alfresco up and get to it OK from all over.

What am I missing ? I'm thinking it's really, really simple. Pity, please...

Thank you

Run JBossAS with the -b option:

run -b 0.0.0.0

(I was going to refer you to the JBossAS readme.html file, but the Portal+JBOssAS download does not contain that file.)

Thank you, it worked. Further explanation at http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossRunParameters

Is there a way to integrate the -b 0.0.0.0 option using the JavaService setup? So far the only way I found was to edit the InstallJBoss.bat and add ' -params "-b 0.0.0.0" '

This works, but it feels a bit "hacky" (i.e. harder to maintain/document).

Thanks!

For JavaService, that is the correct way to add extra command line arguments (). There is nothing "hacky" about it.

Optionally, because JavaService stores starup information in the registry, you can also edit the HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\xxx\Parameters key, changing the Start Param Count and Start Param Number N entries.
