Cannot start GlassFish 4.1 from within Netbeans 8.0.1 Service area

Question

On Windows 7 I downloaded the \'netbeans-8.0.1-javaee-windows.exe\' installer from this site https://netbeans.org/downloads/. The installer installs GlassFish 4.1, Java 1.8.

Answer 1

If you are using netbeans 7 and greater with oracle xe do the following on netbeans :

1. go to services tab
2. under servers, remove glassfish
3. add back glassfish server
4. input port number 9090 for http access

Glassfish can use that one if available or some random port number is created
