Startup of AS 5 and AS 4 fails with no application deployed.

[mangelo123]

The company that I work for is strongly considering moving to another app server. The choices are Tomcat and JBoss (these are at the top anyway). I haven't used JBoss for awhile so I thought I'd download JBoss Tools and AS 5. I set everything up, start the app server from the IDE and I get the same result everytime I come back to JBoss. There are tons of errors and the final result is the web server also failed to start so I can't do anything.

I whipped up a one-page-do-nothing JSF project, deployed it, and the same result. This blows my mind! How can I be getting all of these errors out of the box? Attached is the log with most of the errors.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

The logs show that you are using JBoss AS 6.0 M4 and not JBoss AS 5. Are you sure you downloaded the correct version? Also, keep aside the IDE till you get the issue sorted out. Download the server and start the clean server from the command prompt. If that works then start using the IDE.
