Looks like you are using the Tanuki Java Service Wrapper to run JBossAS as a service. The correct configuration file changes are: wrapper.app.parameter.1=org.jboss.Main wrapper.app.parameter.2=-b wrapper.app.parameter.3=0.0.0.0 You will have the first line already, the other two are additional. Note that each line allows only a single token and that the options are provided for the app (and not Java, as what you did).
