Glassfish - Unable to update http port. Server shut down

I have a problem with Glassfish 4 that occurs when I try to start it.
I have searched for this error only but I haven't found a similar case.
Here's the error log:
Unable to update http port. Server shut down.
org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException:
Could not save to L/Servers/GlassFish 4 at localhost [myDomain].server.
But even though I've had this error, in Eclipse, the state of the Glassfish server is said to [Started, Republish] and I can access the Glassfish admin console.
Have any idea about what is going on there ?
Thanks for your consideration.

It's an old question but the issue still happens on Eclipse 2019-09 so here's what I found and a workaround for it.
It's caused by hitting the Switch Location button on server properties
That will remove this element on <workspace>/.metadata/.plugins/org.eclipse.wst.server.core/servers.xml
<server auto-publish-setting="1"
glassfish.adminserverportnumber="4948"
glassfish.debugport="4909"
glassfish.serverportnumber="4980"
glassfish.domainpath="/home/luis.munoz/projects/bin/glassfish3/glassfish/domains/domain-test/domain-test-1"
hostname="localhost"
id="GlassFish 3.1 [domain-test-1]"
name="GlassFish 3.1 [domain-test-1]"
runtime-id="GlassFish 3.1"
server-type="glassfish.server"
server-type-id="glassfish.server"
start-timeout="240" stop-timeout="240" timestamp="0" />
runtime-id must match the one in .plugins/org.eclipse.core.runtime/.settings/org.eclipse.wst.server.core.prefs
WORKAROUND:
Close Eclipse since servers.xml is cached.
Add the element back on servers.xml to fix the error. Change details as needed.
Start Eclipse
Server properties will show Location: [workspace metadata] again and the error message will not appear when starting Glassfish.

are you using 8080 port ?
ensure that no other processes are listening, if yes - kill em.
netstat -a -n -o | find "8080"

Problems with GlassFish using IntelliJ, deploy is not available

I've started using GlassFish 4.1.1 with IntelliJ and tried created a new J2EE project. The only thing I modified was the output message written out by the facelet.
Now deploying and thus connecting to the server doesn't seem to work.
The message:

Detected server http port: 8080
[2016-04-18 10:30:58,648] Artifact FirstEE:war exploded: Server is not connected. Deploy is not available.

What I tried out:
Checking for any process listening to port 4848, there's none
deleted the standard domain domain1 and tried to create a new one, failed because the command asadmin is unknown.
added "asadmin" file from glassfish's directory to the PATH variable, still unknown.
Reinstalling GlassFish
GlassFish's and IntelliJ's version are are up to date
Has anyone an idea?

Problem was pretty trivial... Just had to run my IDE as an administrator because elseway IntelliJ had no access to the server log file and thus couldn't make neccessary changes in it.
Be sure to check out the other solutions I named in my questions though...

Have you tried to start IntelliJ with sudo permission?

Websphere works when run but fails when debug

I'm using Intellij with WebSphere 8. When I run from within IDE the server works normally. When I try to run it in debug mode however, it fails with the following error:
C:\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\bin\generated_websphere_server_start_script.cmd

Disconnected from server
I tried almost everything I have no idea what the problem is. I did google it for several hours with no luck.
Do anyone know what this all is about and how can it be fixed?
Here is my server configuration:

Solution 1
unchecked the Pass environment variables check box and restart the server in debug mode. it should work properly.
Run --> Edit Configuration --> websphere server --> Startup/Conections tab
select debug, you will see the Pass environment variables check box. it need to be unchecked for debug to work.
Solution 2
if debug mode of websphere is working in eclipse and not working in intellij that reason i found out is debugging serverice on the websphere is already started and intellij is again trying to start the debggin service. so stop the service from websphere console (Servers > Server Types > WebSphere application servers > [serverName] > Debugging Service) and all the default configurations in intellij should work.

I had the same problem. Finally I figure it out. I hope this solution helps. I'm using Intellij idea 2019.1.3.. and WebSphere 8.5.5.13
check WebSphere start server script find debug env variable name (in my script (WebSphere\AppServer\bin\startServer.bat)
WAS_DEBUG)
add same debug option name to intelliJ IDEA
run- debug configuration environment tab.
Since default env variable is debug and cannot be overridden
check pass env variables
add WAS_DEBUG option as I did
or you can update WAS_DEBUG as DEBUG (same as default in IntelliJ) in server startup.bat script.
Both should work.

Pretty old, but i was able to experience too!
They will try to fix this now in: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-193580

firstly, sorry if the translation is not good, I am Brazilian and I would like to share the solution I made.
First: Locate the file "startServer.bat in "WebSphere\AppServer\bin" and open it with any text editor.
Second: Search for the second incidence of the word "WAS_DEBUG" and replace it with "DEBUG", as shown in the image...
Third: In Intellij, go to the server settings and in the "Startup/Connection" tab, select debug.
Fourth: Now uncheck the "use default" checkbox in "Startup script" and point to the location of the "startServer.bat" file in the webSphere directory.
Fifth: Right on the left side of the checkbox, there is an option to enter a parameter. Click and a "Program Arguments" field will appear. Enter the server name, in my case it was "server1".
Okay, now just test

Service will not start: error 1067: the process terminated unexpectedly

We have a custom service that we install with our application. The only problem is that after it is installed, it will not start, generating the error above. I have tried to diagnose what the problem is, but can't seem to find any useful information as to why it is quitting. I have tried the same service on a non "R2" 2008 server, and manual it worked fine.
service simple java file running using batch file. Deamon service.
Has anyone had any experience troubleshooting this type of problem, where there are so few clues?

Goto:
Registry-> HKEY_LOCAL‌​_MACHINE-> System-> Cur‌​rentControlSet-> Servi‌​ces.
Find the concerned service & delete it. Close regedit. Reboot the PC & Re-install the concerned service. Now the error should be gone.

This is a problem related permission.
Make sure that the current user has access to the folder which contains installation files.

I resolved the problem.This is for EAServer Windows Service
Resolution is -->
Open Regedit in Run prompt
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\EAServer
In parameters, give SERVERNAME entry as EAServer.
[It is sometime overwritten with Envirnoment variable : Path value]

This error message appears if the Windows service launcher has quit immediately after being started.
This problem usually happens because the license key has not been correctly deployed(license.txt file in the license folder).
If service is not strtign with correct key, just put incorrect key and try to start. Once started, place the correct key, it will work.

I had this error, I looked into a log file C:\...\mysql\data\VM-IIS-Server.err and found this
2016-06-07 17:56:07 160c InnoDB: Error: unable to create temporary file; errno: 2

The first line says "unable to create temporary file", it sounds like "insufficient privileges", first I tried to give access to mysql folder for my current user - no effect, then after some wandering around I came up to control panel->Administration->Services->Right Clicked MysqlService->Properties->Log On, switched to "This account", entered my username/password, clicked OK, and it woked!

In my case the error 1067 was caused with a specific version of Tomcat 7.0.96 32-bit in combination with AdoptOpenJDK. Spent two hours on it, un-installing, re-installing and trying different Java settings but Tomcat would not start. See...
ASF Bugzilla – Bug 63625
seems to point at the issue though they refer to seeing a different error.
I tried 7.0.99 32-bit and it started straight away with the same AdoptOpenJDK 32-bit binary install.

I solved this issue using Monitor Tomcat application. I ran it and after a few seconds its icon appeared in my system tray. I right clicked on the icon and clicked the start button and after a few seconds Apache Tomcat started.

Eclipse : Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused. [duplicate]

This question already has answers here:
Eclipse Error: "Failed to connect to remote VM"
(26 answers)
Closed 9 years ago.
When ever i tried to launch my eclipse debug(for server side code) i'm getting the following error Failed to connect to remote VM. Connection refused.
What's the problem may be? I already tried with most of the solutions out in the web but none of that solved my issue. Could any one can assist me to fix this? Advance thanks..

when you have Failed to connect to remote VM Connection refused error, restart your eclipse

Which server are you using?
Like already said:
In your debug configuration you'll have to define the right port of your server (GF:9009 / Tomcat:8000)
You'll have to set the JVM property of the server to debug
For Glassfish:
Log in to admin-console > Configurations > server-config > JVM-Settings > check DEBUG checkbox > restart server
For Tomcat:
create file debug.bat/.sh (depending on your OS) in %TOMCAT_HOME%/bin directory and write
set JPDA_ADDRESS=8000
set JPDA_TRANSPORT=dt_socket
catalina.bat jpda start
in it.
After you've created this file start server by executing debug.bat/.sh.
Now you should be able to debug remotely in Eclipse after you set the necessary properties in your debug configuration.
Hope this helped! Have Fun!
EDIT
If you're running tomcat in a Win environment as a service you don't have a catalina.bat file in the bin-directory of your tomcat installation.
To set your server into debug-mode please try the following:
Run the Configuration option in Windows Menu or run %catalina_home%/bin/tomcat6w.exe
In Java tab, add this line to Java:
options:-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=8000,server=y,suspend=n

Sometimes the port which you are trying to access, gets occupied and won't be released.
Try some tools to find whether the port is in use or not.
I also faced the same issue. I tried giving different port numbers but unfortunately it didn't work. I tried restarting the system (not the application server), and it worked :)

I faced the same issue. But i resolved it by changing my port numbers to different one.

The port number in the Eclipse configuration and the port number of
your application might not be the same.
You might not have been started your application with the right
parameters.
Those are the simple problems when I have faced "Connection refused" error.

As suat said, most of the time the connection refused is due to the fact that the port you set up is in use or there is a difference between the port number in your remote application debugging configuration in Eclipse and the port number used in the address attribute in
-Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,address=1044,server=y,suspend=n.
Check those things. Thanks!

If you need to debug an application working on Tomcat, make sure that your Tomcat-folder/bin/startup.bat (if using windows) contains the following lines:
set JPDA_TRANSPORT="dt_socket"
set JPDA_ADDRESS=8000
call "%EXECUTABLE%" jpda start %CMD_LINE_ARGS%

I ran into this problem debugging play framework version 2.x, turned out the server hadn't been started even though the play debug run command was issued. After a first request to the webserver which caused the play framework to really start the application at port 9000, I was able to connect properly to the debug port 9999 from eclipse.
[info] play - Application started (Dev)
The text above was shown in the console when the message above appeared, indicating why eclipse couldn't connect before first http request.
