Error: Could Not Start Domain
Description
This message comes from Sun Java System Application Server 8. The full message looks like
either:
Could not start the domain.
There are no domains.
or
Could not start the domain.
No default domain. Need to enter a domain.
This error occurs when Sun Java System Application Server 8 is installed on the same system,
and its asadmin command (at /usr/sbin) is found on the PATH before the asadmin command
for Sun Java System Application Server 8 at as-install/bin. The situation is especially likely to
occur on Solaris and Linux systems when . is not specied as part of the PATH variable. Without
. in the PATH, the asadmin command in /usr/sbin is found rst, even when the current
directory is as-install/bin.
Solution
Make sure as-install/bin is in the PATH ahead of /usr/sbin, or that . is in the PATH ahead of
/usr/sbin if you access asadmin by changing directories to as-install/bin. Alternatively, if you
do change to as-install/bin to run asadmin, be sure to include./ in the command name; for
example:
cd as-install/bin
./asadmin
Cannot Stop Domain Using asadmin stop-domain
Description
You cannot stop the domain using the asadmin stop-domain command.
Solution
Search the server.log le for error messages related to your inability to stop the domain. To
kill a process when stop-domain is not working, try $JAVA_HOME/bin/jps and look for the
process with ASMain.
