Hi everyone,

I'm new to JBoss, so apologies to start with if I use the wrong terminology! I've been setting up JBoss EAP 7.1.0 standalone and had http all working nicely before starting on https.

I was following the steps to set up server security here: Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform 7.0 How to Configure Server Security - Red Hat Customer Portal

I got midway through, and had removed the management-http configuration in step 2 when I restarted jboss before finishing. I wanted to add the security realm in step 4, but I now can't connect to run jboss-cli.sh. I get this error:

The controller is not available at localhost:9990: java.net.ConnectException: WFLYPRT0053: Could not connect to remote+http://localhost:9990. The connection failed: WFLYPRT0053: Could not connect to remote+http://localhost:9990. The connection failed: Connection refused

The server log provides me with this error:

^[[0m^[[31m18:37:13,648 ERROR [org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-8) MSC000001: Failed to start service org.wildfly.management.http.extensible: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service org.wildfly.management.http.extensible: WFLYSRV0083: Failed to start the http-interface service

I'm confused, because I thought I had set up standalone, but the error seems to imply that it's domain related.

Can someone give me some suggestions or steps to correct this so that I can get into the http or https console?

Best wishes,

Chris
