Question

I’m having a log in error when I try to login to the glassfish server. I have tried it on another system: it works fine, but not on my laptop.

The server exited prematurely with exit code 1.
Before it died, it produced the following output:

Command start-domain failed.

C:\Program Files\glassfish\bin>

Answer 1

It looks like you don’t have the permissions to write to the Program Files folder. You might try again with administator privileges.

You can start the cmd as administator like this:

• Press start
• Type “cmd”
• Hit Ctrl + Shift + Enter
