Cannot Access the Administration Console

The Administration Console provides a graphical interface for administrative functions. If the Administration Console is not accessible, check the following:

• Is the Application Server Running?

• Is the Administration Console Running on the Expected Port?

For more information about the Administration Console, see Administration Console in Oracle GlassFish Server 3.0.1 Administration Guide.

Is the Application Server Running?

Description

The server must be running before the Administration Console can be accessed.

Solution

Review the information in Did the Server Start? to determine if the server is running.

Is the Administration Console Running on the Expected Port?

Description

The default port number for the Administration Console is 4848. However, it could be running on a different port number than expected, either because it was intentionally installed there, or because that port was in use when the server was started.

Solution

Refer to Was the Server Started at the Expected Port? for guidelines on verifying the port on which the Administration Console is running. Be sure to enter the correct port number and HTTP protocol when invoking the Administration Console.
