The location you posted has me puzzled - besides a typo there is a directory missing. Is the location c:\jboss3.2.7\server\all\deploy or c:\jboss3.2.7\server\default\deploy? Are you starting the app server as: run -c all or just as: run If you are running 'all' then you cannot just comment out the offending line because it is required for the cluster. Instead, you need to supply it with the port number. If you are not running clustered, you should be running the 'default' config, not the 'all' config.
