Hello,
i am unable to start JBoss service from Fedora 3, when i run "service jboss start" i see the message on screen:

CMD_START = cd /usr/local/jboss-4.0.1/bin; /usr/local/jboss-4.0.1/bin/run.sh -c default
-bash: /usr/local/jboss-4.0.1/log: Is a directory

if i go to http://localhost:8080/
i get the ERROR "the connection was refused by..."

BUT JBoss runs fine from shell: "sh run.sh" , i can see the page...

also if i try to run "service jboss stop" i get the following:

CMD_START = cd /usr/local/jboss-4.0.1/bin; /usr/local/jboss-4.0.1/bin/run.sh -cdefault
libgcj-java-placeholder.sh

This script is a placeholder for the /usr/bin/java
master link required by jpackage.org conventions. libgcj's
rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools are now slave symlinks to these
masters, and are managed by the alternatives(8) system.

This change was necessary because the rmiregistry, rmic and jar tools
installed by previous versions of libgcj conflicted with symlinks
installed by jpackage.org JVM packages.
