[jboss-user] [Beginner's Corner] New message: "Nessus scan makes JBoss 5.1.0.GA stop processing web requests"

User development, A new message was posted in the thread "Nessus scan makes JBoss 5.1.0.GA stop processing web requests": http://community.jboss.org/message/526637#526637 Author : Derek Chen-Becker Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/d-rock Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- We recently started getting an issue with our production JBoss server where a Nessus security scan stops the JBoss server from responding to web service requests. We've been doing Nessus scans for many months now, so I'm assuming that there's a new plugin that's causing the issue. When it happens we see this in the logs:   {code} 2010-02-16 02:03:07,511 ERROR [org.apache.coyote.ajp.AjpMessage] (ajp-0.0.0.0-8009-1) Invalid message received with signature 18245 2010-02-16

still running, and we can cleanly shut down JBoss, but it seems that the web stuff doesn't work anymore. I'm at a loss, so I've temporarily disabled the Nessus scan and that seems to have stopped the issue. Not scanning the server isn't a long-term solution, however, so I'd like to figure out what's going on here. I have a dev JBoss server that I can test against if anyone has any ideas...   Thanks,   Derek     -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/526637#526637
