Install JBOSS 7.1.x on Linux Machine

INSTALL JBOSS

1) Download zipped JBoss 7.1.x in /opt directory using:

   # wget http://download.jboss.org/jbossas/7.1/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.tar.gz -P /var/tmp

2) Extract using tar command
   

   # tar -zxf /var/tmp/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.tar.gz -C /opt


3) Remove the zipped file using rm command :

   # rm -f /var/tmp/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final.tar.gz

4) Running JBOSS as root is a security risk. Run JBoss using a dedicated system user which will run the JBoss server using the sudo powers.

   # useradd -r jboss -d /opt/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final

  # chown jboss: -R /opt/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final


5) Enable access to JBoss interface by editing standalone.xml:

   # vim /opt/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml


6) Change local IP (127.0.0.1) address to public IP of machine

   <interface name="management">
  <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address.management:127.0.0.1}"/>
  </interface>

  <interface name="public">
  <inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:127.0.0.1}"/>
   </interface>

7) Set-up Jboss to run as a service

   # cp /opt/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/bin/init.d/jboss-as-standalone.sh /etc/init.d/jboss

  # chmod +x /etc/init.d/jboss
  

  # mkdir /etc/jboss-as

8) Create configuration file and  add the following configuration parameters

   # vim /etc/jboss-as/jboss-as.conf

   JBOSS_HOME=/opt/jboss-as-7.1.1.Final
   JBOSS_CONSOLE_LOG=/var/log/jboss-console.log
   JBOSS_USER=jboss

9) Start Jboss service

   # service jboss start
