Need Help with PID File Error while starting JBoss Service

[Sheldon Dsouza]

Hi,

We are using JBoss 7.1 and since could not find any support, sending email to this group.

Basically we downloaded and setup JBoss 7.1 some years back and it was working fine and even jboss service would start up fine.

As part of an unrelated activity, a Kernel upgrade was required on our AWS Cloud EC2 Server with OS: Red Hat Enterprise Linux (on which JBoss 7.1 was setup).

After the Kernel Upgrade, it was noticied that jboss service stopped running fine.

However, is the error seen via: systemctl status jboss.service

jboss.service - SYSV: JBoss AS Standalone

-------------------

Please advise on how the error with PID file can be resolve.

Or if any queries.

Thanks,

just delete the pid file and restart the service.
