Bind JBoss to specific IP address

jimmy — Mon, 28 Dec 2009 12:37:36 +0000

Simple but I think it will help JBoss newbie (like me :]) when searching the internet.

By default when you run JBoss ( ./run.sh in Linux) it will bind to localhost/127.0.0.1
This will cause the JBoss default port 8080 cannot be access from other computer, because you need to open http://127.0.0.1:8080/ instead of your IP http://:8080/

To make the JBoss binding to specific IP you need to run it with :
./run.sh -Djboss.bind.address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
*which of course the xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is your IP

Other PC will able to access the JBoss with that IP

For Windows I think it will be the same :
./run.bat -Djboss.bind.address=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Cheers ^^

Solving Pidgin cannot connect to Yahoo Messenger (YM)

jimmy — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 20:08:20 +0000

Starting June 18 I started having problem connecting to YM with Pidgin.
Somehow it’s random I can connect or not.

I google and several article/forum writing that need to flush dns cache and also about several YM server cannot be accessed from Pidgin.

I try my friend advice to change YM server configuration to IP rather than domain name.
And it’s worked..
You will need to use cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com as Pager server since June 24, or you can update to pidgin 2.5.7 to solve this problem

Some people are reporting changing the Pager server didn’t solve the problem, you can follow these instruction to update your pidgin to latest version (for Ubuntu) : Updating Pidgin to latest version in Ubuntu

The steps: 1. Select menu Accounts – Manage Accounts

2. Select your Yahoo Messenger account & click ‘modify’

3. Select advanced tab

4. Change your pager server to : cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com

5. Then disabled & enabled your account. Or restart the pidgin.

And your Pidgin should able connect to YM

*Update*
List IPs can be used (thanks to Med):
~~66.163.181.179 – 66.163.181.180 – 66.163.181.181 – 66.163.181.182 – 66.163.181.183 – 66.163.181.166 – 66.163.181.167 – 66.163.181.168 – 66.163.181.169~~

Starting June 24 using IP doesn’t seems to work anymore, try to use : cn.scs.msg.yahoo.com

Solving failed starting mysql service with non default datadir (Ubuntu)

jimmy — Fri, 19 Jun 2009 11:06:17 +0000

I used to put my mysql data dir to /home/mysql, just to separated the partition so when something goes wrong or upgrading the OS I won’t lose my mysql data just because I forgot to backup it.

After I upgrade from Ubuntu 8.04 to Ubuntu 9.04 suddenly my mysql failed to start.
The strange thing the only data dir seems working is putting it on /var/lib/mysql which is the default directory for mysql data dir.

After browsing around I found out that it is apparmor that prevent mysql datadir on different directory.

So the easy way to solve this is to remove apparmor : apt-get –purge remove apparmor

Sniffing/capturing tcp data connection in Linux

jimmy — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 11:47:36 +0000

When debugging my wapsite, I want to know the header from mobile HTTP request.
It’s said from some mobile-operator, they’ll include msisdn info on HTTP header.

Now tcpflow come to rescue ^^
Just type “tcpflow -ci port ”
for example “tcpflow -ci eth0 port 80″

It’ll print on console all the request to port 80
