I had the next problem (Solution at end):

glassfish@localhost:~$asadmin start-domain
Starting Domain domain1, please wait.
Default Log location is /opt/glassfish/domains/domain1/logs/server.log.
Redirecting output to /opt/glassfish/domains/domain1/logs/server.log
Timeout waiting for domain domain1 to go to starting state.
CLI156 Could not start the domain domain1.

Error detail:
java.rmi.server.ExportException: Listen failed on port: 0; nested exception is: java.net.SocketException: Invalid argument
..
Exception :
java.lang.RuntimeException: Admin Server Channel is not initialized

Information:
debian Squeeze AMD64 2.6.32
sun-java6-jdk 6.20-dlj-1

export JAVA_HOME=”/usr/lib/jvm/java-6-sun”
export PATH=”$PATH:/opt/glassfish/bin:/opt/glassfish/lib/ant/bin”

SOLUTION:

The problem was IPv4 and IPv6 Socket listeners, so an change the values:
Edit /etc/sysctl.d/bindv6only.conf
Change net.ipv6.bindv6only = 1 to net.ipv6.bindv6only = 0
Restart service
/etc/init.d/procps restart

Run: asadmin start-domain domain1

And VOILA!!

I have tweaked the above init file to add a “runas” user. This way you can create a user (i.e. glassfish) and have your glassfish instance running as that user.

You can find the modified file here: http://entwash.org/glassfish

Hi there.
Nice tut. How do you run it as non-root user? If I start the server as non-root I can find a warning in the logs after an otherwise successful start. During domain creation for the non-root there is a “jks” permission error.
Any ideas?
Kind regards – Benjamin.
(i read the glassfish faq on this, but it was no use)

Very useful tutorial, and I think that with the new release of glassfish server v3 prelude the installation shoul be a lot easier
