[jboss-user] [Installation, Configuration & DEPLOYMENT] - Exception creating identity

My JBoss AS 4.2.1 GA suddenly will not start. I am using it with Sun Java 1.6. It has been working in the past but I had to reboot my server and now it fails to start with the following error in the stack trace: | 21:31:20,637 WARN [BasicMBeanRegistry] javax.management.MBeanRegistrationException: preRegister() failed: [ObjectName='jboss.remoting:service=NetworkRegistry', Class=org.jboss.remoting.network.NetworkRegistry (org.jboss.remoting.network.NetworkRegistry@3749eb9f)] | and further down: | Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Exception creating identity: fattony: fattony | I did a bit of searching on the forums and found some posts about problems with /etc/hosts but I have not touched mine here it is: | 127.0.0.1 localhost | 127.0.0.1 fattony | I did notice that I can run my config as root: | ./run.sh -c vencomm -b 127.0.0.1 | but not as my "jboss" user that I had setup. I tried deleting and re-adding the user, changing ownership on my $JBOSS_HOME directory. I haven't changed a thing, it just started happening. Any ideas? How is everyone else running JBoss as a non-root user. I had it working and now it is broken. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4116303#...
