Hi PeterJ, Thanks for the fast response, unfortunately I was unable to get to the machine till now. Yes, I am using JBoss native. I need to set up Internet (196.2.99.198) and Intranet (196.168.0.10) ports to the same service on 8180 My mods to server.xml are | | <Connector port="8180" address="${jboss.bind.address}" | maxThreads="250" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" | emptySessionPath="true" protocol="HTTP/1.1" | enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8143" acceptCount="100" | connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" /> | | <Connector port="8180" address="196.2.99.198" | maxThreads="250" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" | emptySessionPath="true" protocol="HTTP/1.1" | enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8243" acceptCount="100" | connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" /> | | <Connector port="8180" address="192.168.0.10" | maxThreads="250" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" | emptySessionPath="true" protocol="HTTP/1.1" | enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8343" acceptCount="100" | connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" /> | and | <Host name="hsc-dc" | autoDeploy="false" deployOnStartup="false" deployXML="false" | configClass="org.jboss.web.tomcat.security.config.JBossContextConfig" | > | <Alias>hsc-dc.hsc.local</Alias> | <Alias>hsc-dc.hsc</Alias> | <Alias>196.2.99.198</Alias> | <Alias>192.168.0.10</Alias> | </Host> | | This configuration works on my Linux test environment wher I hae control of the DNS and firewall - other than JBoss doesnt seem to like going directly to an IP ... even if I put the Aliases in the default server. I have no or very little control over the production box. The problem on startup occurs on the second connector immediately after localhost is bound. And, indeed, after waiting for JBoss to start localhost:8180 works fine - you can see it being bound immediately before the stack trace (below). The web manager reports that JBoss ${jboss.bind.address} is bound to hsc-dc at 192.168.0.10, but I cant get to this service - even if I remove the second from server.xml | Version | Version: 4.2.1.GA (build: SVNTag=JBoss_4_2_1_GA date=200707131606) | | Version Name: Trinity | | Built on: July 13 2007 | Environment | Start date: Tue Feb 26 09:45:34 GMT+02:00 2008 | | Host: hsc-dc (192.168.0.10) | | Base Location: file:/C:/hscweb/jboss-4.2.1.GA/server/ | | Base Location (local): C:\hscweb\jboss-4.2.1.GA\server | | Running config: 'default' | | | | | JVM - Hardware | Hardware | #CPU: 2 | | OS: Windows 2003 5.2 (x86) | JVM Environment | Free Memory: 90 MB | | Max Memory: 493 MB | | Total Memory: 163 MB | | #Threads: 47 | | JVM Version: 10.0-b19 (Sun Microsystems Inc.) | | JVM Name: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM | | | | 09:45:39,860 INFO [TransactionManagerService] Starting recovery manager | 09:45:39,985 INFO [TransactionManagerService] Recovery manager started | 09:45:40,000 INFO [TransactionManagerService] Binding TransactionManager JNDI R | eference | 09:45:44,610 INFO [EJB3Deployer] Starting java:comp multiplexer | 09:45:47,203 INFO [ServiceEndpointManager] jbossws-1.2.1.GA (build=200704151756 | ) | 09:45:49,094 INFO [AprLifecycleListener] The Apache Tomcat Native library which | allows optimal performance in production environments was not found on the java | .library.path: C:\hscweb\jboss-4.2.1.GA\bin\native;C:\WINDOWS\system32;C:\WINDOW | S;C:\WINDOWS\System32\Wbem;C:\Program Files\Microsoft Windows Small Business Ser | ver\Networking\;C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\BINN;C:\hscweb\jd | k1.6.0_04\bin;C:\hscweb\apache-maven-2.0.8\bin;C:\hscweb\jboss-4.2.1.GA\bin | 09:45:49,281 INFO [Http11Protocol] Initializing Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-127.0.0 | .1-8180 | 09:45:49,313 ERROR [Http11Protocol] Error initializing endpoint | java.net.BindException: Cannot assign requested address: JVM_Bind:8180 | at org.apache.tomcat.util.net.JIoEndpoint.init(JIoEndpoint.java:501) | at org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11Protocol.init(Http11Protocol.java:176) | | at org.apache.catalina.connector.Connector.initialize(Connector.java:105 | 9) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardService.initialize(StandardService.j | ava:669) | at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardServer.initialize(StandardServer.jav | a:792) | at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.load(Catalina.java:518) | at org.apache.catalina.startup.Catalina.start(Catalina.java:558) | at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) | at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl. | java:39) | at sun.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(DelegatingMethodAcces | sorImpl.java:25) | at java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Method.java:597) | at org.apache.tomcat.util.modeler.BaseModelMBean.invoke(BaseModelMBean.j | Restarting JBoss native from either the command line or start->admin->services forces a reboot with the following log entry (Event 1074) | | The process winlogon.exe has initiated the power off of computer HSC-DC on behalf of user HSC\Administrator for the following reason: No title for this reason could be found | Reason Code: 0x840000ff | Shutdown Type: power off | Comment: | | For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp. | I have tried manual stop - check task manager - start as suggested, with the box simply rebooting immediately. hence my dilemma I have in the interim removed JBoss native whilst I debug the command line version. I will also be trying glassfish since it seems to offer comfortable remote administration. I am glad to hear the JB is stable on win2K - I have no reason to suspect it isnt since I have been using JB and Tomcat on Linux for many years, and have seen that the paralell Windows version ahs been available for a ong time. I'm sure its something I've overlooked. Your help is much appreciated Chris View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4132052#...
