Starting an Infinispan server on VMware

While trying to start an Infinspan server on my virtual machine with NAT as network connection, the startup script failed with the following exception:

[org.jboss.msc.service.fail] (MSC service thread 1-7) MSC00001: Failed to start service jboss.network.public: org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.network.public: JBAS015810:

To solve this problem, you need to configure the IP address of the virtual machine as bind parameter within the startup as outlined here:

Instead of starting with

./standalone.sh 

you must start the server with

./standalone.sh -b xxx.xxx.xx.xxx

If you have a cluster, instead of starting with

./cluster.sh

you must start the server with

./cluster.sh -b xxx.xxx.xx.xxx
