Does your startup script redirect the console log to a file? If so, post that. If not, post the last 50 or so lines from server/xxx/log/server.log. Also, have you tried running the init script manually using the root account? And have you tried manually running jbossas using the account specified in the init script? I have jbossas running as a service on my ubuntu box, so I know it should run just the same under debian. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4136135#...
