Fail to start JBoss 4.0.5 and JBoss 4.2.2 in Eclipse Helios

[Calson LI]

I started JBoss 4.0.5 using port 18080, and JBoss 4.2.2 using port 28080 because 8080 in localhost is used. But I failed to start them with error message "Server JBoss vx.x at localhost was unable to start within 65 seconds. If the server requires more time, try increasing the timeout in the server editor". I have tried to increase the time-out for starting JBoss 4.0.5 and JBoss 4.2.2 in Eclipse Helios. But the problem persisted.

The strange things are that I could start JBoss 4.0.5 and JBoss 4.2.2 in DOS environment by runing "run.bat" under JBossx.x\bin folder. Also, I could start these 2 application servers in Netbeans environment.

Is there any configuration I need to set-up in Eclipse Helios?

Thanks a lot for your assistance in advance.

Dear Peter,

I change default port number, 8080 of JBoss 4.0.5.GA to 18080 at

"\jboss-4.0.5.GA\server\default\deploy\http-invoker.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml"; and

"\jboss-4.0.5.GA\server\default\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar\server.xml";

Also, I change the port number in eclipse for JBoss 4.0.5.GA to 18080.

Since these port number matches, Jboss 4.0.5.GA can start properly in Eclipse.

Thanks,
Calson
