Can't launch glassfish on ec2 - can't open port
- by orange80
I'm trying to start glassfish on an EBS-based AMI of Ubuntu 10.04 64-bit. I have used glassfish on non-ec2 servers with no problems, but on ec2 I get this message:
$ sudo -u glassfish bin/asadmin start-domain domain1
There is a process already using the admin port 4848 -- it probably is another instance of a GlassFish server.
Command start-domain failed.
I know that ec2 has requires that firewall rules be modified using ec2-authorize to let outside traffic thru the firewall, as I had to do to make ssh work. This still doesn't explain the port error when all I'm trying to do is start glassfish so I can try
$ wget localhost:8080and make sure it's working.
This is very frustrating and I'd really appreciate any help.
Thanks.
FINAL UPDATE:
Sorry if you came here looking for answers. I never figured out what was causing the problem. I created another fresh instance, installed the same stuff, and Glassfish worked perfectly. Something obviously got boned during installation, but I have no idea what. I guess it will remain a mystery.
UPDATE:
Here's what I get from netstat:
# netstat -nuptl
Active Internet connections (only servers)
Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address State PID/Program name
tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:22 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 462/sshd

udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:68 0.0.0.0:* 377/dhclient3
UPDATE: One more thing...
I know that the "net.ipv6.bindv6only" kernel option can cause problems with java networking, so I did set this:
# sysctl -w net.ipv6.bindv6only=0
UPDATE: I also verified that it has nothing at all to do with the port number (4848). As you can see here, when I changed the admin-listener port in domain.xml to 4949, I get a similar message:
# sudo -u glassfish bin/asadmin start-domain domain1
There is a process already using the admin port 4949 -- it probably is another instance of a GlassFish server.
Command start-domain failed.
UPDATE:
Here are the contents of /etc/hosts:
127.0.0.1 localhost
# The following lines are desirable for IPv6 capable hosts
::1 ip6-localhost ip6-loopback
fe00::0 ip6-localnet
ff00::0 ip6-mcastprefix
ff02::1 ip6-allnodes
ff02::2 ip6-allrouters
ff02::3 ip6-allhosts
I should mention that I have another Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 64-bit slice that is NOT hosted on ec2, and set it up the exact same way with no problems whatsoever.
Also server.log doesn't offer much insight either:
# cat ./server.log
