Question

Could not make local copy for file jboss-service.xml :- JBoss error

Asked by: techbie

Hi there,

I have a problem with my jboss installation. Our production system is running Jboss 4.0 and I was trying to configure it in my Sandbox (RHEL 4.0)

When I run the run.sh using linux command line, I get the below  errors.

Could not make local copy for file:/home/y/libexec/jboss/server/default/conf/jboss-service.xml
Failed to find META-INF/jboss-service.xml

I have already deployed the application in the jboss server/deploy folder.

Bit since I am not able to start the jboss, I am not able to continue.

I think this error has to do with some permission setting.But not sure where is the problem and how to solve it.

Please help

Does the effective user that starts the jboss has permission to create the  /home/libexec/jboss/server/default/conf/jboss-service.xml? and write access to /home/libexec/jboss/server/default/conf

 

by: techbiePosted on 2008-06-15 at 01:09:14ID: 21787868

actually i am running this logging as a remote login to the machine with my user login. "abcd" (name changed)

here is the ls -la output of this locations

-rwxrwxrwx  1 abcd users  26955 Sep  8  2006 jboss-service.xml

drwxrwxrwx  6 abcd users 4096 Jun 12 00:55 conf


 

by: techbiePosted on 2008-06-15 at 01:45:47ID: 21787930

any clue where could be the problem ?

 

by: MeritorPosted on 2008-06-15 at 02:26:50ID: 21787987

can u check permissions for
/home/libexec/jboss/server/default/tmp
or try to delete all unnecessary content from tmp

 

by: techbiePosted on 2008-06-15 at 02:35:25ID: 21787994

Hi..i think we are now closer to the solution..i gave the write permission to tmp and remove all the contents from it...

now it shows the below message

02:31:17,200 INFO  [Server] Root Deployment Filename: jboss-service.xml

It just stops here..how can i verify that jboss is running fine...

Thanks

 

by: MeritorPosted on 2008-06-15 at 02:41:09ID: 21788006

Ummmm!
There must be some issue with your log4j.xml
If you see something like folloiwng output in your jboss-console, which means Jboss started successfully.
Starting Coyote HTTP/1.1 on http-0.0.0.0-9595

I checked the log file and it show the below error

    jboss.jmx:alias=jmx/rmi/RMIAdaptor


How do I reset the ports so that all these bindings are reinitialized ?

 

by: MeritorPosted on 2008-06-15 at 03:08:15ID: 21788031

This is a big pain.
You have to identify and kill the service which is using this port.
Search for Java processes and try to kill them (Beware this may kill some crucial process. Don't try this on live server).
or try reboot the machine.

 

by: techbiePosted on 2008-06-15 at 14:23:25ID: 31467310

Thanks..the log4j was started and ports were allocated correctly after a server restart.
