    Jboss fails to start No error in console or logs.

      Windows xp jboss 4.2.2.GA

      Then exits. Wonder how to approach finding the issue?

          Hello,

          are you starting from a clean installation or you have modified the services deployed somehow ?

          have you by chance set the JBOSS_HOME property ? (so maybe you are pointing to a different installation by mistake)

          regards

            This is while deployment of a server.   I install Jboss and tested by executing C:\jboss-4.2.2.GA\bin\run.bat. So jboss starts and I can reach pages on via http://localhost:8080.  So Jboss_home=C:\jboss-4.2.2.GA and Java_home=C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0_17. What is the category to turn on Trace logging for "Starting jboss:service=WebService"?  Maybe that would give me more information.  Does it exit without an error or comment it's shutting down?

              Post the startup sequence of the application server from the server logs (C:\jboss-4.2.2.GA\server\default\log\server.log)

              You should conceivably find the reason why the server shut down.......

                Thanks

                I've attached the server.log

                  Still looking for comments on this one:

                   

                  I added some System out to Webserver.java

                  org.jboss.web.

                  start method

                   

                  public void start() throws Exception

                  {

                  System.out.println(" Im in WebServer.java");

                  if (threadPool == null)

                  threadPool = new BasicThreadPool("ClassLoadingPool");

                  System.out.println(" Im in WebServer.java Threadpool");

                  try

                  {

                  System.out.println("port = " + port);

                  System.out.println("backlog = " + backlog);

                  System.out.println("bindAdress " + bindAddress.getHostAddress());

                  server = new ServerSocket(port, backlog, bindAddress);

                  System.out.println(" Im in WebServer.java started Serversocket");

                  log.debug("Started server: " + server);

                   

                   

                  listen();

                  System.out.println(" Im in WebServer.javan listening");

                  }

                  catch(java.net.BindException be)

                  {

                  System.out.println(" Im in WebServer.java throwing Bind exception");

                  throw new Exception("Port "+port+" already in use.",be);

                  }

                  catch (IOException e)

                  {

                  System.out.println(" Im in WebServer.java throw io exception");

                  throw e;

                  }

                  catch (SecurityException r)

                  {

                  System.out.println(" Im in WebServer.java throw security exception");

                  throw r;

                  }

                  finally

                  {

                  System.out.println(" Im in WebServer.java finally");

                   

                  }

                   

                  This is what I get in the server.log every time I start jboss with my server code.  Jboss runs fine by in default server.

                  no error seem to get thrown by serversocket. Could some other thread in jboss be killing this thread.  Security Manager.

                    Hello,

                    Reading you logs seems that your Web server gets fail to start the Web Server ServerSocket. The odd thing is that you don't get what I expected "Bind :Address already in use". Have a look at what ports are busy with

                     

                    netstat -no -p tcp

                     

                    Do you have any service bound at port 8083 ?

                     

                    I'd try to start with a clean state, without other services like Skype, MSN, Outlook etc which sometimes bind to the same port.

                    If you find any conflict and you cannot solve it by removing external applications, then you can change the port on which the jboss:service=WebService mbean is running (file conf/jboss-service.xml line ~ 210)

                     

                    Hope it helps

                      The problem was occuring on a system running XP SP3.  Was not able to find the cause, the JVM was exiting without error or memory dump (when run with java.exe directives). Installed the application onto a Vista laptop. Problem did not recur. Wasted alot of time on the one not JBoss related.
