Question

Tried deploying a simple web application (jboss 5.1, jboss seam 2.2.1) on a machine. But for some weird reason, I am unable to access the application using http://localhost:8080/<my-app>.

Any access to the application on a IE 8 browser, just gets re-directed to the search page with a string “localhost:8080”.

Couple of observations:-

1. I tried switching off the firewall protection on the machine, but this didn’t help
2. I tried switching off the Avast virus protection software process, but this didn’t help.
3. Tried starting JBoss application server using run.bat -b 0.0.0.0 (didn’t help)

Any ideas on what is happening here?

Answer 1

Is it possible that the hosts file on that machine is not set correctly? Try http://127.0.0.1:8080/ instead.
