JBOSS 5AS does not start with Custom Configuartion path

[krabhishek]

Hi,

I want to start Jboss application server with a configuration folder which is not inside the $JBOSS_HOME/server/<config_name> directory. So when I run

kumar@gloss:~/Desktop/JBOSS/bin/jboss$ ./bin/run.sh -b gloss -c /home/kumar/Desktop/JBOSS/bin/test

The server fails to start. I have done nothing with the configuration but I have just copied the default configuration from $JBOSS_HOME/server/ and renamed it to test. Here is the stack trace:

kumar@gloss:~/Desktop/JBOSS/bin/jboss$ ./bin/run.sh -b gloss -c /home/kumar/Desktop/JBOSS/bin/test

Please let me know where I am going wrong.

The value for -c should be the simple configuration name under jboss_home/server. For example, notice this part of the output:

Server Home Dir: /home/kumar/Desktop/JBOSS/bin/jboss/server/home/kumar/Desktop/JBOSS/bin/test

Not what you expected, right?

My suggestion: copy jboss_home/server/default as jboss_home/server/test, and then use '-c test'.

If you still insist on running from outside of jboss_home/server, then still do what I suggested, go into the jmx-console and look at the SystemProperties mbean. Note all of the system properties that relate to the location of the server configuration. Then set every one of them on the command line (-Dsys.prop=/the/path).

Hi Peter,

I would like to do something for JBOSS 5AS as described in this wiki

http://shrubbery.mynetgear.net/wiki/Shared_JBoss_Installation_Directory

Can you please help me out.

TIA,

Abhishek

[krabhishek]

ok so I tried to find out the SystemProperties, and in order to do what I want, I need to change the ServerBaseDir attribute. But the JMX Console shows that the attribute ServerBaseDir in jboss.system has on Read (R) access.

Now how can I fix this? Any leads?

[peterj]

I looked at that link - they basically told you to do the same thing I told you. Only the boiled it down to the exact system properties you need to change. Though you might have to play with it - always check the 'xxx Dir' and 'xxx URL' values printed out at the start of the console log.

The system properties cannot be changed in the jmx-console. I never said to change them there.

[krabhishek]

I did not use JMX-console to edit any properties. This is what I tried.

As you can see the ServerBaseDir value did not change. Am I missing someting here??

[jaikiran]

From what i understand, i think you are looking for this:

./run.sh -b gloss -Djboss.server.base.dir=/home/kumar/Desktop/JBOSS/bin

or this

./run.sh -b gloss -Djboss.server.base.dir=/home/kumar/Desktop/JBOSS/bin -c test

By the way, though unrelated to your current problem, looks like you haven't set the JAVA_HOME correctly:

JBOSS_HOME: /home/kumar/Desktop/JBOSS/bin/jboss

JAVA: java

[peterj]

Also, there is both a server home dir and server home url setting - you must set both of them! (The link you referenced gives the system property name.)

Finally, please, please, please, please move your server home dir out of /home/kumar/Desktop/JBOSS/bin/, at least until we fix this issue. For example, use /opt/myservers, or something like that (make sure you chown on that directory). The current location looks too much like where JBOSS_HOME is located and that is making it difficult to easily differentiate between correct and incorrect locations.

(The link you mentioned has a perfect example, I still don't know why you are not following that example.)
