Netbeans GlassFish Server 4, deploy, Connection refused: connect, false , The module has not been deployed. See the server log for details

Question

My problem is that i get this message after i run any web application. example, in netbeans i create new project and chose webapplication i leave everything default i don't change the names.

then i deploy the first time it works but when i close netbeans and open it later and try to deploy the same project that was working before i get that error, no first it get stuck at "Starting GlassFish Server 4" then i stop it and redeploy and i get

 Starting GlassFish Server 4
 GlassFish Server 4 is running.
 In-place deployment at C:\Users\****\Documents\NetBeansProjects\WebApplication1\build\web
 GlassFish Server 4, deploy, Connection refused: connect, false
 C:\Users\***\Documents\NetBeansProjects\WebApplication1\nbproject\build-impl.xml:1045: The       
 module has not been deployed.
 See the server log for details.
 BUILD FAILED (total time: 8 seconds)

so this has cost me my exam because i didn't know how to deal with it, it was devastating to feel so powerless, i immediately got disorientated and before i knew it, it was time to hand in our work and i was still stuck at first task and every other task depended on the success of the first task. Anyway since then i have been deleting glassfish and reinstalling to get it to work(too bad i dint think of this during my exams, also should have focused more on practice than theory then i could have see the problem already).

have tried adding netbeans to fire wall, changing ports and some other stuff suggested by others, still no luck, result is always the same i even used a brand new virtual machine and i still get the same message when i close netbeans and reopen it later. again when i delete glassfish and reinstall it i works just fine.

here is my server log, apologies, i don't know how to make it pretty yet. Server Log:

Answer 1

Alright I see no one is willing to touch this with nine foot pole so i will give my solution. after many dreadful hours of searching the web, installing and uninstalling netbeans and glassfish, trying up to 7.4 netbeans and changing to old jdk up to 7. giving up in frustration then coming back. then this idea worked.

Solution: start netbeans, before i deploy project i got to my installation of glasfish on my pc it looks like somthing like this

C:\Users\myusername\GlassFish_Server\glassfish\bin

start: asadmin.bat

then in the console that open: start-domain then go back to netbeans when its done if you refresh the netbeans server you see its running or you can go to localhost to confirm too.

to stop it: stop-domain

also on another machine that has windows 7 it worked just fine.

Answer 2

I think I faced some related problem and I think that the solution is that you have to launch Netbeans as an admin, instead of what netbeans doesn't have the rights to modify the filesystem and launch the glassfish server. (In my case Glassfish is under Program files directory, and user management is on).

If you can try that and tell us if it worked for my it was perfect ! (and also the URL for the domain is internal to the instalation directory)

Answer 3

Go to line no. 1045 in build-impl.xml or click on line comes after deploying the web application as error and set the debugmode = "true" like this:

"<nbdeploy clientUrlPart="${client.urlPart}" debugmode="true" forceRedeploy="${forceRedeploy}"/>"

after that save it and deploy the web application, it will be deployed.
