Addition to the earlier update, i am running the server on address 0.0.0.0 to permit a remote connect.

am i on a wrong forum, its been almost 12 hours but no response yet

With the run.sh startup script. and port 0.0.0.0

the forum is mostly driven by volunteers, there is no guarantee that someone respond, especially not with a small response time. If you need such response times you need to use a Red Hat subscription where you have such guarantees.

Hi Wolf, Appreciate your efforts on this.

This is the startup script 

nohup ./run.sh -b 0.0.0.0 &

I am able to access the jboss index page using wget on this machine.

the logs are not indicating any errors.

I am running jboss on the following Red Hat version.

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.3 (Santiago)

regards

Santosh

I mentioned, I am getting a Http 400 Bad Request error and not a 404.
