command start-domain failed glassfish 4.1

Question

I successfully installed glassfish 4.1 on my centos server via ssh but I am unable to start the server. when I type ./asadmin start-domain I got this error below.

Waiting for domain1 to start ......Error starting domain domain1.
The server exited prematurely with exit code 137.
Before it died, it produced the following output:
Launching GlassFish on Felix platform

Can anyone help with this one?

Thanks.

It seems that Glassfish cannot start because an address is trying to bind is already in use.

Shutting down server due to startup exception

java.net.BindException: Address already in use: bind

Try to edit the domain.xml.

/glassfish/domains/domain1/config/domain.xml

The most common problem would be that the http-listener ports are reused by another application. Find the following lines:

name="http-listener-1" port="8080" name="http-listener-1" port="9090"

And replace them with something like:

name="http-listener-2" port="8181" name="http-listener-2" port="9191"
