JBoss naming service port conflict
- by Kramer
I am having trouble getting JBoss started. I am running JBoss 5.1.0 on Mac OSX (yes, I know it is an old version, but that’s what the application is certified on for now). I am using Apple’s JVM 1.6.0_37. I get the following error when trying to use JBoss (there are some more exceptions, but these are the first few):
Error installing to Start: name=jboss:service=Naming state=Create mode=Manual requiredState=Installed

Now I know what you are thinking, that I am running something that conflicts with that port, but I have used lsof and there is nothing listed on that port.
I have tried changing the port in conf/bindingservice.beans/META-INF/bindings-jboss-beans.xml:
<bean class="org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingMetadata">
<property name="serviceName">jboss:service=Naming</property>
<property name="bindingName">RmiPort</property>
<property name="port">5098</property>
<property name="description">Socket Naming service uses to receive RMI requests from client proxies</property>
</bean>
Unfortunately, I then get the name errors with the new port number.
I also installed a network monitoring tool on my box and it doesn't look like any ports are being opened when I start jboss, but it is possible, that the tool might be missing a port that is opened and then closed quickly.
Any ideas what could be the problem or how to fix it?
