org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.web.deployment.default-host./: Failed to start service

This should be the very common problem that everyone will be facing while deployment. You will be failing if you deploy a web archive (.war) under / context.

The error in JBoss console will be like this,

Internal Server Error { "outcome" => "failed", "failure-description" => {"JBAS014671: Failed services" => {"jboss.web.deployment.default-host./" => "org.jboss.msc.service.StartException in service jboss.web.deployment.default-host./: Failed to start service Caused by: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: JBWEB000250: Child container with name already exists"}}, "rolled-back" => true }

The problem comes because of the following configuration in standalone.xml

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:2.2" default-virtual-server="default-host" native="false">
            <connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http" socket-binding="http"/>
            <virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="true">
                <alias name="localhost"/>
                <alias name="example.com"/>
            </virtual-server>
</subsystem>

To fix this,

enable-welcome-root="true" to be made "false"

<subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:web:2.2" default-virtual-server="default-host" native="false">
            <connector name="http" protocol="HTTP/1.1" scheme="http" socket-binding="http"/>
            <virtual-server name="default-host" enable-welcome-root="false">
                <alias name="localhost"/>
                <alias name="example.com"/>
            </virtual-server>
</subsystem>
