Description Mauricio Magnani Jr 2013-05-20 13:16:40 UTC 
Description of problem:

JBoss fails to start in domain mode.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

jboss-as.noarch 0:7.1.1-17.fc18

How reproducible:

performed the installation with the command:

$ sudo yum install jboss-as –y

Edit configuration file /etc/jboss-as/jboss-as.conf and do as below:

# The configuration you want to run
JBOSS_CONFIG=domain.xml
# The address to bind to
JBOSS_BIND=0.0.0.0

edit the file service /usr/lib/systemd/system/jboss-as.service and changing the attribute ExecStart to use the script domain.sh

ExecStart=/usr/share/jboss-as/bin/domain.sh -c $JBOSS_CONFIG -b $JBOSS_BIND

run the command to reload the service settings:

$ sudo systemctl --system daemon-reload

Restart the JBoss

$ sudo systemctl restart jboss-as.service

The exception is thrown:

INFO  [org.jboss.modules] (main) JBoss Modules version 1.1.1.GA
01:36:38,453 ERROR [stderr] (main) java.lang.IllegalStateException: JBAS015859: Could not create servers directory: /usr/share/jboss-as/domain/servers
