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 specified as part of the PATH variable. Without . in the PATH, the asadmin command in /usr/sbin is found first, even when the current directory is as-install/bin.
