There could be other problem but let's do first thing first. Please make sure that your JAVA_HOME environment variable is set before you hit ./run.sh. Clean data,log,tmp and work directory from server/default. Restart jboss and see if you still have problem. You do not have to restart jboss for your new deployment to work. You can just drop your war file in /server/default/deploy and portal should pick it up. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4005036#...
