Not able to run jbossas7 on ubuntu on rackspace cloud server

Question

I am a novice on ubuntu (linux), i am trying to setup jbossas7 on rackspace cloud server, I had installed jbossas7 and jdk6 on the server by uploading these files through ftp and then using command line through putty, it works well for about 24 hour , but after that it stops working, i think jbossas7 refuse to start, i tried many things including uninstalling and installing jdk. when i ran /home/cuelearn/jboss/jboss-as-web-7.0.2.Final/bin/standalone.sh command i am getting following error...

I got exact the same issue. I think you solved the problem already after two years. Just in case anyone else faces the same issue: simply configure the java path in standalone.conf. Then the server should start effortless. cheers
