This part is odd, since you say WildFly is already serving HTTP requests at 8080. Are you sure no other version/instance of server is up and running? What does the output of the following show:
<location-to-your-java-installation>/bin/jps -l

Or else just paste the content of this log file here.

Thanks for the help - I'm about to try the same thing on my desktop too, just to double check I haven't done anything stupid, but I'm really pretty stuck!
Just out of interest - are new users recorded anywhere? Should they appear in mgmt-users.properties?Thanks again,
Nick -

dlofthouse Nov 28, 2017 6:15 AM (in response to nickwoodward)1 of 1 people found this helpfulFYI unless you have modified the default configuration the CLI should be able to connect to the local server using local authentication instead of requiring a username and password - I would suggest focus on the CLI for now and forget the user in the properties for the moment.

Should they appear in mgmt-users.properties?Yes, if you indeed did add a management user (that's what you selected as an option during add-user interactive prompt, right?), it should appear in the <wildfly-install-location>/standalone/configuration/mgmt-users.properties file.
By the way, the output that you posted of jps command, did you edit it while pasting here. If not, that output looks odd. Either way, I'm assuming that's where you installed your WildFly and started it from right (C:\Users\Nick\Wildfly)?

6. Re: Beginning with Wildfly 11 - can't add users & 'controller not available'
nickwoodward Nov 28, 2017 7:00 AM (in response to jaikiran)yes, I'm running it from %JBOSS_HOME%/bin which is C:\Users\Nick\Wildfly, and I didn't edit that jps output.
<wildfly-install-location>/standalone/configuration/mgmt-users.properties ---- this is what I find particularly odd: there is no mention of any users other than the default commented out admin.
but if i run %JBOSS_HOME%/bin/add-user.bat and add a management user called nwoodward it will tell me that the user already exists. if I log into localhost:8080 and click on the adminconsole link it redirects me to http://localhost:9990/error/index_win.html telling me that wildfly is running but that I need to add a user by running add-user.bat.
I'll post my log in the next post dlofthouse - sorry I missed your reply earlier. I have be looking at it, but it's a mixture of not having the knowledge to see what's wrong. or at the very least I'm missing it.
*EDIT:I'm happy to focus on connecting to the server:
At the moment I can start the server using %JBOSS_HOME%/bin/standalone.bat, but jboss-cli.bat --connect command=:shutdown results in the 'failed to connect to the controller' message.Again, I'm not sure if I'm doing this right!
what's the best way to show you guys the log? attach it? it's a wall of text otherwise.

7. Re: Beginning with Wildfly 11 - can't add users & 'controller not available'
jaikiran Nov 28, 2017 7:07 AM (in response to nickwoodward)1 of 1 people found this helpfulCan you not use JBOSS_HOME environment variable and instead use the exact path to your installation? Furthermore, can you post the output of:
echo %JBOSS_HOME%
and I didn't edit that jps output.
The output of that command that you pasted was:
12976 C:\Users\Nick\Wildfly\jboos-modules.jar
1700
7171 sun.tool.jps.Jps
There's no such file called "jboos-modules.jar" (the correct one is jboss-modules.jar) in WildFly distribution. So again, unless this is a typo while pasting here (if that's the case then that's fine), your installation doesn't seem right.

Attaching is a good way to do that. In your message editor window (the one you see when you hit "Reply"), there's a "Use advanced editor" option link at top right corner. You can use that to use the advanced editor which has a option to let you attach files to the post.

nickwoodward Nov 28, 2017 8:47 AM (in response to jaikiran)Thanks jaikiran - sorry if I'm not being the easiest!
1) I meant I didn't intentionally edit it - yup, that's a typo, here it is run again:8448 C:\Users\Nick\Wildfly\jboss-modules.jar
9712 sun.tools.jps.Jps
11948
2) C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_131\bin>echo %JBOSS_HOME%
C:\Users\Nick\Wildfly
3) See attached log found at: C:\Users\Nick\Wildfly\standalone\log\server.txt
Honestly do really appreciate the help

nickwoodward Nov 28, 2017 2:26 PM (in response to claudio4j)Added user 'user1' to file 'C:\Users\Nick\Wildfly\standalone\configuration\mgmt-users.properties'
Added user 'user1' to file 'C:\Users\Nick\Wildfly\domain\configuration\mgmt-users.properties'
I can't see the user in either file, but running the code again says the user is being updated:C:\Users\Nick\Wildfly>add-user.bat -u user1 -p admin555
Updated user 'user1' to file 'C:\Users\Nick\Wildfly\standalone\configuration\mgmt-users.properties'
Updated user 'user1' to file 'C:\Users\Nick\Wildfly\domain\configuration\mgmt-users.properties'
Press any key to continue . . .
also, when trying to access the admin console its still complaining about no users:[quote]"Your Wildfly application server is running. However you have not yet added any users to be able to access the admin console. To add a new user execute the
add-user.bat
script within the bin folder of your WildFly installation and enter the requested information."[/quote] -
12. Re: Beginning with Wildfly 11 - can't add users & 'controller not available'
jaikiran Nov 29, 2017 12:31 AM (in response to nickwoodward)This looks very odd. Before we dig in any further, can you try these 2 things and see if it helps:
1) Instead of installing WildFly in C:\Users\Nick\WildFly can you just install it in C:\WildFly. I am not a Windows OS user but I do remember it has some kind UAC (?) checks on certain directories.
2) Can you disable any Windows OS firewall, if it is currently enabled?
If neither of it works, please report it back and we'll see what's up. At this point though, I don't see anything obviously wrong that you might be doing.

13. Re: Beginning with Wildfly 11 - can't add users & 'controller not available'
dlofthouse Nov 29, 2017 5:59 AM (in response to jaikiran)Is there any possibility that there is a parallel installation of WildFly where the only different in the path is the case of the names?
At this stage I would say follow the recommendation from Jaikiran but also ignore the application server for now, executing add-user.bat you should see your new user being added to the file - if that is not happening there is something really bizarre going on here but moving onto looking at the application server is not likely to be productive.

14. Re: Beginning with Wildfly 11 - can't add users & 'controller not available'
nickwoodward Nov 29, 2017 9:22 AM (in response to nickwoodward)I did originally have the directory in C:\Dev\Wildfly, but I deleted it and removed the environment variables as the problem still occurred there - So I can't see how there was a duplicate instance prior to that.
As asked, I've now deleted C:\users\nick\wildfly, removed the environment variables, turned off windows firewall and my personal firewall (and anti virus), and removed the old directory from the recycle bin (on the off chance...). I've also checked the port(9990) using netstat -an|find "9990". (It found nvnetworkservice as usual on restart, which I've stopped again - I've checked it's no longer running)I've now got the dir: C:\WildFly, with the system variable %JBOSS_HOME%, and I've added %JBOSS_HOME%\bin to the path.
I've opened cmd prompt with admin rights, navigated to %JBOSS_HOME%, and run add-users.bat. The prompts came as expected, I chose a) Management User, 'nwoodward', my password, no groups, 'yes' for the ManagementRealm, and no for one AS connecting to another. This is the output:[quote]Added user 'nwoodward' to file 'C:\WildFly\standalone\configuration\mgmt-users.properties'
Added user 'nwoodward' to file 'C:\WildFly\domain\configuration\mgmt-users.properties'
Added user 'nwoodward' with groups to file 'C:\WildFly\standalone\configuration\mgmt-groups.properties'
Added user 'nwoodward' with groups to file 'C:\WildFly\domain\configuration\mgmt-groups.properties'[/quote]
The user does not appear in that file. Only the commented out admin appears.
So I start the server using standalone.bat.Here are the last few lines mentioning the admin console:
[quote]
13:35:33,284 INFO [org.jboss.as.server] (Controller Boot Thread) WFLYSRV0212: Resuming server
13:35:33,287 INFO [org.jboss.as] (Controller Boot Thread) WFLYSRV0060: Http management interface listening on http://127.0.0.1:9990/management

[/quote]
Netstat now finds this:
C:\WINDOWS\system32>netstat -an|find "9990"
TCP 127.0.0.1:9990 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
Navigating to localhost:8080 give the landing page telling me WildFly is running.
Clicking administration console redirects to http://localhost:9990/error/index_win.html telling me that I need to run add-user.bat
So I click Ctrl -c to shut down. Http access stops.
So I type the following and get the standard error:
[quote]C:\WildFly>jboss-cli.bat
You are disconnected at the moment. Type 'connect' to connect to the server or 'help' for the list of supported commands.
[disconnected /] connect

[disconnected /]
[/quote]
_____________________________________________
I've included the log file again found at C:\WildFly\standalone\log - it should only include the above.
If it doesn't look like I've done anything wrong I might try going to an older version of WildFly?
Thanks again
