Here's your problem | worker.node1.host=node1._._._.209 | this line should only have the host ip address or name and not node1._._._.209 Remove node1 and node2 from the your workers.properties file. The way it's right now the host ip address is invalid and apache won't be able to resolve it. You're very close, don't give up :) cheers View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4017078#...
