I can't figure out to start glassfish within netbeans

Question

When I click on Run it displays the following error message:

Starting GlassFish v3 Domain
GlassFish v3 Domain start failed.
/Volumes/Private/noname/Sites/projects/java/MyFirstServlet/nbproject/build-impl.xml:602: Deployment error:
GlassFish v3 Domain start failed.
See the server log for details.
BUILD FAILED (total time: 2 minutes 0 seconds)

But then I fire up Terminal in mac and use asadmin start-domain and it starts.

And in netbeans I then Run the project and it fires up Safari and displays the content.

But why can't glassfish start in netbeans? Any idea?

Solution 1

I've met the same problem as I was learning java web programming, but in windows env. I've spent much time guessing what that error could mean because the log file wasn't clearly saying that. Finally I found out that glassfish v3 was trying to run on 8080 port, which was already occupied by reportingservicesservice.exe which is sql server service. I didn't get to know how to switch the port used by glassfish, but I found that in netbeans 6.8 (which I use) in tools->servers I can add a new glassfish server instance which runs on a different, free port - that solved the problem :)

Solution 2

I just had the same problem, and it happened because of a version mismatch between the local server (Glassfish 4.1) and the remote (Glassfish 4.0).

Solution 3

Netbeans IDE X.X --> Tools --> Servers

Add Server --> Choose Server --> GlassFish 3.X

then click (next) browse installation location click (next)

select (register local domain) domain name : domain 2

click on finish button

Solution 4

My problem was with the port 8080, when I type http://localhost:8080, I found that oracle 10g was using it first before I install netbeans 6.8 with glassfish, I deleted oracle database 10g and, wich made the 8080 port free, and now everything is fine, it works.

if the file server.log is what they mean in the domain folder than i cant see anything regarding that issue.

My server sometimes fails to start when another instance is already running... Re-start your IDE and kill all java tasks can help you.
