Thanks for the reply, Andreas. I hadn't tried Payara 5 yet so I just
did and I get the same results ("GlassFish Server start failed") and
thanks for the tip about "grizzly-npn-bootstrap-X.X.jar" which I did
have to remove.You asked about what I'm seeing in server.log. In all cases I'm seeing something like the entries below, which are from Glassfish 4.1: [2019-01-04T09:15:03.983-0500] [glassfish 4.1] [INFO] [NCLS-CORE-00087] [javax.enterprise.system.core] [tid: _ThreadID=17 _ThreadName=RunLevelControllerThread-1546611298103] [timeMillis: 1546611303983] [levelValue: 800] [[ Grizzly Framework 2.3.15 started in: 0ms - bound to [/0.0.0.0:7676]]] [2019-01-04T09:15:03.985-0500] [glassfish 4.1] [INFO] [NCLS-BOOTSTRAP-00027] [javax.enterprise.bootstrap] [tid: _ThreadID=1 _ThreadName=main] [timeMillis: 1546611303985] [levelValue: 800] [[ Registered com.sun.enterprise.glassfish.bootstrap.osgi.EmbeddedOSGiGlassFishImpl@69d3cf7e as OSGi service registration: org.apache.felix.framework.ServiceRegistrationImpl@3069a360.]] [2019-01-04T09:15:13.955-0500] [glassfish 4.1] [INFO] [NCLS-JMX-00005] [javax.enterprise.system.jmx] [tid: _ThreadID=61 _ThreadName=Thread-14] [timeMillis: 1546611313955] [levelValue: 800] [[ JMXStartupService has started JMXConnector on JMXService URL service:jmx:rmi://10.251.93.47:8686/jndi/rmi://10.251.93.47:8686/jmxrmi]] I should probably emphasize that that it takes a long time for the "GlassFish Server start failed" error to appear. Let's say five minutes or so. What is Glassfish or Netbeans doing that whole time? Is there any debug output I can see? Is the state stored on disk somewhere? A few other facts and observations: - Despite the "GlassFish Server start failed" error, Glassfish (or Payara) are actually started. I get the usual screen at http://localhost:8080 - Even though Glassfish is running, Netbeans doesn't seem to know it started it. Right-clicking Glassfish under "Servers" shows "Start", "Stop" and other menu items greyed out. If I click "Refresh" then "Start" and "Stop" remain greyed out. The integration between Netbeans and Glassfish isn't working. All I want is to go back to the working combination that I've had for a long time: Netbeans 8.2 and Glassfish 4.1. (Our app, Dataverse, currently requires Glassfish 4.1.) I don't know how to get there. :( I only have the one laptop and I'm considering asking my help desk to re-image it so I can get a truly fresh start. I didn't expect Mac operating system upgrade to cause so much havoc for me. :( Please keep any troubleshooting suggestions coming.
