I am getting this error while starting eclipse. I am using eclipse on windows 7
"There is a process already using the admin port 4848 -- it probably is another instance of a GlassFish server.
Command start-domain failed." I have searched and found that if i put mny hostname against 127.0.0.1 then this problem can be resolve but my problem is that i can't place my hostname in my host file due to our organization internal network security and i can't even edit this file.So i want that this glassfish server stops allocating 4848 port and starts working on another port.
Please help as i got stuck in this issue.
Thanks

  • Why you talk about hostname when your problem is about the port being used? Your problem is that port 4848 is used by another process. Use `netstat` to find out. – m0skit0 Jun 25 '12 at 10:27
  • I dont know but only this solution is written everywhere. I have checked port 4848 and it is bind with the process java.exe. So what should i do now? – khan Jun 25 '12 at 10:29
  • Kill java.exe process. Probably it's a zombie of a previous GlassFish server instance. – m0skit0 Jun 25 '12 at 10:32
  • should i kill? Would it not start again when my machine restart? – khan Jun 25 '12 at 10:34

    So you have a standalone glassfish AND an Eclipse-embedded one? Then that's your probelem. Did you recently install a Glassfish Eclipse plugin? – Marko Topolnik Jun 25 '12 at 10:35

    It should not start automatically when you start the OS if you didn't configure it to do so. If you did, remove that option. Or change that server instance's binding port. – m0skit0 Jun 25 '12 at 10:37
  • yes i have installed it recently @MarkoTopolnik – khan Jun 25 '12 at 10:42

The Eclipse plugin contributes its own Glassfish instance that runs only as long as Eclipse runs. Uninstalling your standalone copy is probably a good solution for you. If not, reconfigure the standalone copy to use a different admin port.

A simple Google search will cover that for you. Here's what I have found as the top hit.
