Getting error as “initializing endpoint: java.net.BindException: Address already in use /127.0.0.1:8080” while installing JBoss AS7

Here I’ve installed JBoss AS 7.1 in AWS ec-2 linux instance.

Please help before marking it as duplicate as many SO questions are already available but nothing helped me here.

The server is running successfully

[root@ip-172-31-20-18 ~]# service jboss status
jboss-as is running (pid 10251)

It’s only accessible for http://localhost:8080 and from the other machines, here I want to access with instance public IP

Yes the server log says

But I don’t know why because already I’ve modified the standalone.xml in cofiguration dir.

<interfaces>
        <interface name="management">
            <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:0.0.0.0}"/>
        </interface>
        <interface name="public">
            <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:0.0.0.0}"/>
        </interface>
        <!-- TODO - only show this if the jacorb subsystem is added  -->
        <interface name="unsecure">
            <!--
              ~  Used for IIOP sockets in the standard configuration.
              ~                  To secure JacORB you need to setup SSL
              -->
            <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.unsecure:127.0.0.1}"/>
        </interface>
    </interfaces>

But here the port 8080 is listening for all IPs

[root@ip-172-31-20-18 jboss]# netstat -tulpn

.. ... ... ... ...      ....    .....        .......                .....          ........

not at localhost.

Pls correct me if I’m wrong.

Someone help me out, how to access it from other machine. I’m not able to understand where to change the configuration?

Answer

Oh Sorry. The configuration of the server is all set and I was wasting my day to solving the issue in configuration.

All I needed to do is the creatation Security rule with port 8080 to the Security group of AWS ec2 instance.

And the server is accessible from remote machines.
