Impossible to run web application in debug mode with intelliJ on ubuntu with glassfish server

Question

In intelliJ 12.0 on ubuntu 12.04 with glassfish 3.1.2.2, I'm trying to launch my web application in debug mode but I've got this error message:

Error starting domain domain1.
The server exited prematurely with exit code 134.
Before it died, it produced the following output:

FATAL ERROR in native method: JDWP No transports initialized, jvmtiError=AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197)
ERROR: transport error 202: bind failed: Address already in use
ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510)
JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No transports initialized [../../../src/share/back/debugInit.c:741]

I try to change the port 9009 in the domain.xml by another one but it was unsuccessful. Could you help me to fix this problem?

Thank you

I had this same problem too a few weeks ago. I dont remember 100% what I changed but I know it has to do with the file $GLASSFISH_HOME/glassfish/domains/domain1/config/domain.xml. If I recall I think I changed the following line:

<java-config debug-options="-Xdebug -Xrunjdwp:transport=dt_socket,server=n,suspend=y,address=9009" system-classpath="" classpath-suffix="">

In particular server and suspend flags. When I set them like this the error you described above went away.
