Localhost:8080 not loading - glassfish

Question

hi I have installed Glassfish webserver version 10, successfully in MAC OS. I had no problem intalling or starting the server. the server is running, but when i try to run glassfish in port:8080, it is not loading and i get a blank page. however, localhost 4848 is loading and I can see webspace enabled there. I have tried with jdk5,6 and reinstalling things, but in vain anyone know a solution.........

Answer 1

Check if the port is firewalled. I once spent considerable amount of time with Tomcat on Vista before I nailed the silly issue.

Answer 2

This is hard to determine what can cause that problem. It will be useful if you post stack trace/log message.

Answer 3

Did you ever get it working?

Answer 4

did you check what HTTP ports is enabled for your appserver ? in the management interface click on 'Application Server' then the 'General' tab , you will see something like :

HTTP Port(s): 30500,30502,30501

maybe your glassfish is using port 8080 for something else - or you have another webserver running on that port somewhere ?

Answer 5

You can easily create a second domain with Glassfish. This will tell you if there is a problem with the domain or the installation of Glassfish.

asadmin create-domain --adminport 4949 --instanceport 9090 domain2

Now connect to the admin port on 4949

http://localhost:4949

Login and password are admin, adminadmin

Also check the log directory of each domain:

$GLASSFISH/domains/domain1/logs
$GLASSFISH/domains/domain2/logs
