[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Created: (JBAS-5910) Point out the -b flag in the docs

Point out the -b flag in the docs --------------------------------- Key: JBAS-5910 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBAS-5910 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Task Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Components: Docs/Administration and Configuration Guide, Docs/Installation and Getting Started Guide Reporter: Dimitris Andreadis Assignee: Samson Kittoli Fix For: JBossAS-5.0.0.CR2 "I just had a user, new to JBoss have a problem connecting to a remote jboss server. It turns out it was a classic problem, he hadn't specified the -b parameter when starting the AS so it was just binding to localhost and could not be contacted. This kind of thing is obvious to old time users, but not to newbs. I looked through the AS and EAP doco trying to find an explanation or note "remember to set -b if you want your server to be contactable", but could find only a tiny explanation of -b in the getting started guide, sec 2.3.3: "-b, --host=<host or ip> Bind address for all JBoss services". It mentions nothing about what the default is, and that it needs to be specified. Might I suggest a bit more doco here?" -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
