JBoss 6.1 App server startup problems:Module not found exception

Question

My JBoss Application server is throwing a Module not found exception when starting it.I unzipped Jboss and started it. Could you please tell if i have to make any configuration setting to make it start.

org.jboss.modules.ModuleNotFoundException: org.jboss.as.standalone:main
        at org.jboss.modules.ModuleLoader.loadModule(ModuleLoader.java:224)
        at org.jboss.modules.Main.main(Main.java:341)

Press any key to continue . . .

Thanks, -Vijay

A possible reason is your jboss runtime is corrupt. Reason for

**org.jboss.modules.ModuleNotFoundException: org.jboss.as.standalone:main
    at org.jboss.modules.ModuleLoader.loadModule(ModuleLoader.java:224)
    at org.jboss.modules.Main.main(Main.java:341)**

is that jboss-eap-6.2\modules\system\layers\base\org\jboss\as\server\main package is missing inside your jboss directory. This package contains jboss-as-server-7.3.0.Final-redhat-14.jar and module.xml which are essential to run jboss server.
