Q:
I installed my agent successfully, but now it won't connect to the server. Why?
A:
The agent has to be started in the foreground to run through its installer. The installer is where the agent is told what JBoss ON server to access. If the agent service is started without going through the agent installer, the agent loads its configuration without ever identifying the server to connect to.
The agent configuration has to be edited, as described in Section 9.3, “Changing the Agent Configuration After an RPM Install”, to set the server connection information.
