On a Windows Server 2008 box, I'm trying to run two instances of the same application. This application (i2b2) is using Apache Axis 2 web services. The JAX-WS web services are running on port 9090, and are calling our application source code in JBoss on port 8083. I made a complete copy of the application code (which includes the Apache Axis 2 extracted war file) to avoid confusion, and changed the port connection for our web services on the second instance from 9090 to 9091 in {jboss folder}\server\default\deploy\jboss-webdeployer\server.xml.
I might be going about this the wrong way. I'm not so concerned with running on different ports, I just need to have two instances. So if making a copy of the application compiled source code and switching ports is not the best way to go about this, let me if you have a different idea.
<Connector port="9091" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
maxThreads="250" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
emptySessionPath="true" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />
After starting JBoss, with this command from the JBoss bin folder, I get the exception below. See more details on places I found port 8083 referenced.

These were the best instructions. http://darrellgrainger.blogspot.com/2010/02/changing-ports-in-jboss.html ...
Good news ... is that I was able to un-comment out that JBoss port-01 section in the xml file by moving the --> before the XML tag. I then made a copy of the jboss\default\ folder and renamed it default-qa. So the second instance of JBoss should be using port 8183 now. port-default for the folder default should still be bound to port 8083 by default. And started up the second instance of JBoss just fine by doing this from the jboss bin folder run -b 0.0.0.0 -c default-qa > debug-qa.txt. That worked fine.
Bad news ... The application code has ${jboss.home}/server/default/deploy/ hard coded, and the Apache Axis 2 port set in the Spring Web Framework *.properties file(s) to 9090 everywhere. Since the second instance of JBoss is relying on Apache Axis 9091, I'm thinking I need to make another copy of the source code and use port 9091 now, and just keep the same folder structure in the second instance, but move the root folder somewhere else. Then recompile.
If you want to run two JBoss instances on the same machine you should change ports bidning (see e.g. for JBoss 4.X How to run multiple instances of JBoss in a one single machine?. Note that for every JBoss version this is configured differently (see this).
It can also happen that some other program took required port. Two most often offenders are MS Outlook and Skype. To check this run:
netstat -a -o
which would give you a list of occupied ports and process id. You can check in task manager which program is using a given port and, possibly, kill it.
