Try adding to etc/opennms.conf, and then bin/opennms will just assume you don't want to wait for startup.
START_TIMEOUT=0 Then also change the 127.0.0.1 in etc/service-configuration.xml to reflect the new IP address. I understand the goal is to get this running under FreeBSD. Is it possible that you could work through where the calls to localhost/127.0.0.1 come through on Linux and what configuration changes are necessary first before attempting this on FreeBSD?

This issue seems to be a problem with connecting to the local machine through loopback. Here's an issue. I'm developing this in a FreeBSD jail (think of it as a highly-secure, lightweight virtual machine.). It talks to itself over a cloned loopback and is assigned it's own IP address. It can't access 127.0.0.1 on the host machine as that would be a security issue and there is no 127.0.0.1 address in a jail. How do I turn this off or reconfigure it so it doesn't try the loopback but the jail IP address it is running on? Thank you, P. PS - for all I know, this may be the cause of these issues... Any insight? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
