Setting up multiple instances of JBOSS EAP 6

Question

I have an existing JBOSS EAP 6 setup on Redhat linux. This is in standalone mode. I need to add another instance of JBOSS in the same machine. I searched through the web, but did not find documents much relevant to EAP 6. Please suggest.

Answer 1

STEP 1 – Install JBoss EAP 6 Create a folder called dev on your home directory. (e.g. /home/grg021/dev )

Unzip your JBoss EAP 6 installer on this folder.

root_folder = /home/grg021/dev/

eap_home = root_folder/jboss-eap-6.0/

You should have something that looks like this.

STEP 2 – Setup the Standalone Server Instances instance_1 – root_folder/ins1

instance_2 – root_folder/ins2

Copy the standalone folder and its contents in instance_1 and instance_2 which should look like this.

STEP 3 – Run Open a 2 terminal instances on the bin directory of eap_home. (term_1 and term_2) On term_1 – run standalone server on instance_1 [grg021@localhost ~]$ cd dev/jboss-eap-6.0/bin [grg021@localhost bin]$ ./standalone.sh -Djboss.server.base.dir=/home/grg021/dev/ins1/standalone/

On term_2 – run standalone server on instance_2 with port offset 10000 so a [grg021@localhost bin]$ ./standalone.sh -Djboss.server.base.dir=/home/grg021/dev/ins2/standalone/ -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=10000

STEP 4 – Test On a web browser (firefox/google chrome) test the following URLs:

http://localhost:8080/ and http://localhost:18080/

That’s it! Now you have two instance of standalone servers running on a single instance of JBoss on a single local machine.
