SJSAS 8.1 creating a zillion connections
My platform is Windows XP which I installed Java Studio Enterprise 8 on and that installed Java System Application Server 8.1
I tried to start the server server via:
Programs->SunMicrosystems->JavaStudioEnterprise8->StartServersAndRunti mes->Default ApplicationServer
I get a DOS window that says to wait and it never comes back (with the "Press any key to contine...).It then just seems to hang. So I did a netstat -an from another dos window and it displayed this huge list of tcp connections being generated from port numbers 1030 and up. I cant get it to stop.
Any ideas what could be causing this. I've tried rebooting but get the same response.
Also, I did actually get it to start up once. Then I shut it down and have not been able to get it to start up again.
One final question, when It did start successfully the first time, I was able to http://localhost and get the managment window for the application server and it asked for my admin password. I don't recall ever specifying one. Is there a default one assigned?

Do you have the PE app server or EE?
Can you check this by doing:
- <app server install-dir>/bin/asadmin version --verbose?

Please let me know and in the meanwhile I will check what Sun Studio Enterprise bundles.
Thanks,

Hi Kedar, thanks for your reply.
I ran the command you suggested and the output is as follows:
C:\Program Files\Sun\jstudio_ent8\AppServ8.1UR2\bin>asadmin version --verbose
Unable to communicate with admin server, getting version locally.
Version = Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1_02 (build b06-fcs)
Command version executed successfully.

OK. So this is platform edition. Can you do the following in that case:
- install-dir/asadmin start-domain domain1?
Regarding the "admin" password, I think the Studio installer is hiding the
password for administration. Can you check if the home directory (%HOME%)
has a file named .asadminprefs ?
If yes, this file has AS_ADMIN_USER and AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD which are
your passwords for the "default" domain.
HTH,
Kedar

I did the command:
C:\Program Files\Sun\jstudio_ent8\AppServ8.1UR2\bin>asadmin start-domain domain1
Starting Domain domain1, please wait.
Log redirected to C:\Program Files\Sun\jstudio_ent8\AppServ8.1UR2\domains\domain1\logs\server.log.
It's just haning there, and netstat -an now shows it opening all those ports.
Here's just a small subset of those now opened:
TCP127.0.0.1:2408 127.0.0.1:2398 ESTABLISHED
TCP127.0.0.1:2409 127.0.0.1:2410 ESTABLISHED

TCP127.0.0.1:2417 127.0.0.1:2416 ESTABLISHED
This is what it was doing before

And, by the way, you were correct about the user/password file. I found the .asadminprefs file.Thanks :-)
