OK, jbossas is not starting. Or actually, none of the services that matter, such as HTTP, started (is what I am guessing). Please post the entire console output after you enter ./run.sh. What configuration changes did you make? I know you changed the log4j.xml file because there is no ORI appender in the file that comes with JBossAS. Also, did you change the login-config.xml file? It would appear that whatever editor you used to change it added unicode byte ordering characters to the start of the file (that is the most common reason for the error you are getting). Please post any configuration files you changed (posting only the lines you added or changed is sufficient). Remember to enclose your XML text in UBBCode "code" tags - you can do this by selecting the XML text and clicking the Code button above the editor window. Also, click the Preview button to ensure that the formatting is correct and the XML text shows up before posting.
