This post will cover installing JBoss 7.1.1 on CentOS 6.x.
We'll also set up JBoss to run as a service, as well as set up access to the management console
Finally, we will look at how run JBoss on port 80 or, alternatively, placing JBoss behind Apache.
Firstly, we will need to install Java.
JBoss 7.1.1 will work with JDK 6 or JDK 7.
I'm using JDK 7

Download jdk from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html
[root@vellore 3rdparty_packages]# rpm
-ivh jdk-7u7-linux-x64.rpm
[root@vellore Downloads]# wget

[root@vellore Downloads]# cd /usr/share
[root@vellore share]# mv
jboss-as-7.1.1.Final/ jboss-as
Since we will want to run JBoss as a
non-root user with minimal privileges, we'll create a user, jboss,
who will own the JBoss files and JBoss will run under his
account.
To do this, do the following.
Create a new group, jboss, and then create the user jboss and add the user to the jboss group.

By default, JBoss 7.1.1 is bound to the
loopback IP of 127.0.0.1, so if we want to make it available on the
web, we need to change this.
Locate standalone.xml under /usr/share/jboss-as/standalone/configuration/.
Open standalone.xml in vi or a text editor and look for the public interfaces node as shown below.
<interface name="public">
<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:127.0.0.1}"/>
</interface>
To make JBoss publicly accessible, change 127.0.0.1 to either 0.0.0.0 to allow access on all interfaces or to your public IP.
So, for example, if your public IP is 10.66.191.232, you would change it as so:
Locate standalone.xml under /usr/share/jboss-as/standalone/configuration/.
Open standalone.xml in vi or a text editor and look for the public interfaces node as shown below.
<interface name="public">
<inet-address value="${jboss.bind.address:127.0.0.1}"/>
</interface>
To make JBoss publicly accessible, change 127.0.0.1 to either 0.0.0.0 to allow access on all interfaces or to your public IP.
So, for example, if your public IP is 10.66.191.232, you would change it as so:
[root@vellore ~]# vim
/usr/share/jboss-as/standalone/configuration/standalone.xml
275 <interfaces>
276 <interface
name="management">
277 <inet-address
value="${jboss.bind.address.management:127.0.0.1}"/>
278 </interface>
279 <interface
name="public">
280 <inet-address
value="${jboss.bind.address:10.66.191.232}"/>
281 </interface>
282 <!-- TODO - only show
this if the jacorb subsystem is added -->
283 <interface
name="unsecure">
284 <!--
285 ~ Used for IIOP
sockets in the standard configuration.
286 ~ To
secure JacORB you need to setup SSL
287 -->
288 <inet-address
value="${jboss.bind.address.unsecure:127.0.0.1}"/>
289 </interface>
[root@vellore ~]# service jboss start
Starting jboss-as:
[ OK ]
[root@vellore ~]#
Again, if you wish to have JBoss
publicly accessible on all interfaces, use 0.0.0.0 in place of your
IP above.
Save your changes, start up JBoss, and check it is publicly accessible via http://10.66.191.232:8080
