Installation with 64–bit JDK Fails (6796171)

Description

Installation fails on 64–bit systems that have 64–bit JDK because the installer tries to use the 64–bit JDK.

Solution

If you are installing Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server on a 64–bit system, download the 32–bit JDK and use it to install Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server on your 64–bit machine. You will need to use the following command: ./distribution_filename —javahome path to 32–bit JDK location

After installation, to ensure that Sun GlassFish Enterprise Server uses a 64–bit JDK, edit the value of the AS_JAVA variable in the asenv.conf file to point to the 64–bit JDK installation.
