how to start Sun Java System Application Server 9.0

yesterday morning i downloaded the software from sun.java.com and installed it .but i failed in starting the application server on my system(windows). i read thequick start guide and followed the steps : <From the Start menu, choose Programs => Sun Microsystems => Application Server PE 9 => Start Default Server. > the first try the message appeared in the command window is<domain listens on at least following ports for connections:[8080 8181 4848 3700 3820 3920 8686 ]> . i tried it later for several times ,but i got a same answer [b]<the domain (domain1) is already running .cli156 could not start the domain domain1> . both of the two answers are different from the message shows in theGuide . finally i failed . i hope someone can help me , i will really appreciate it .

It looks like the appserver is already running on your machine. I think you just need to verify that it is running.

http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-3656/6n5s3qjg8?a=view

If you are not able to see the index page, then copy/paste the error message from the server.log file.

i think u r not able to see the admin console.

try this.

get the ip address(open command window and type ipconfig)

in the browser type http://<IP>:port/

most of the time port is 4849 or 4848.

if you want to find out the port open domain.xml located in <AS_INSTALL>/domains/domain1/config/domain.xml

search for _asadmin in the same element tag you will see port number.

let me know if it works.

dear skgaju,thank you very much ! but i am still in the trouble. i failed in the step http://<IP>:port/ whether i typed the port number 4849 or 4848 . and then i try to open domain.xml. but it shows [the system can not find the appointed object and something wrong when system deals with the resource : of 'http://www.sun.com/software/appserver/dtds/sun-domain_1_2.dtd' . i puzzled. could you tell me what's wrong with my machine?

Can you restart the servers from command line and post the failure messages from <install-dir>/domains/domain1/logs/server.log file here?

Command to restart the servers:

...<install-dir>/bin asadmin stop-domain domain1

...<install-dir>/bin asadmin start-domain domain1

The sun-domain_1_2.dtd file can also be found at ..<install-dir>/lib/dtds directory
