[jboss-user] [Beginner's Corner] - Installed JBoss 4.2.3.GA but can't get my server started

Hi, I'm new to Linux and to JBoss but need to learn how to manage a JBoss server. I've downloaded and installed JBoss 4.2.3.GA but can't get it to start when I execute run.sh (from in the jboss/bin folder). Here's my current system specs: Fedora Release 11(Leonidas) Kernel Linux 2.6.30.5-43.fc11.x86_64 GNOME 2.26.3 I've tried using Java 1.5 and 1.6 (am currently trying 1.5 because that's what we code in at work). All software is the 64 bit version. I've researched the error below and found very few weblinks (google only returned about a dozen) and none of them have helped. I've tried: - various versions of Java - making sure that all users have total access to both the java and jboss folders - making sure my symbolic java link is fully accessible to all users (it points to the java file under the jre sub-folder of the 1.5 JDK) The one suggestion I don't know how to implement is to make sure my host file is properly configured for my computer name. I will greatly appreciate any help anyone can offer. The error I receive is: ========================================================================= JBoss Bootstrap Environment JBOSS_HOME: /opt/jboss-4.2.3.GA JAVA: java JAVA_OPTS:
