Controller NOT starting properly. seems to starting with null host and port and failing

[CommunityUser]

com.sun.enterprise.glassfish.bootstrap.ASMain -domainname domain1 -asadmin-args --host,,,localhost,,,--port,,,

After starting the controller from INSTALL_HOME/bin/startController, the database starts fine but the controller starts with arguments which appear to not having any values as above.

Subsequently in the server.log, I see that there is a connect refused on port 9080.

What is possibly wrong?

 Someone please help.

-Thanks

seems somethoing on analytics services config

to start controller manually and not all dependent service go Controlloe_HOME/bin

run 

./controller.sh start-db

./controller.sh start-appserver

./controller.sh start-reporting-service

check server.log

I did try that. But Controller still fails to start properly.

Check the last arguments in cmd-line that get passed to Controller. They look suspect.

sotty my mistake

port 9080 is user from analytics-service and you have default property in your domain.xml

-Dappdynamics.analytics.local.store.url=http://localhost:9080

before start controller try to start manually analytics service tih controller.sh and post error if you have it

[CommunityUser]

There is no option to start analytics service separately. Is it events-service?

usage: controller.sh [start|stop|start-appserver|stop-appserver|start-db|stop-db|start-events-service|stop-events-service|start-reporting-service|stop-reporting-service|login-db|reset-ejb-jms-tables|recreate-jms-tables|enable-http-listeners|disable-http-listeners|patch-upgrade /path/to/controller_patch_upgrade.zip|zip-logs|capture-diagnostic-information|enable-token-auth-module|disable-token-auth-module]

[Davide_Franzino]

sure event-service open port 9080

Finally turned out to be a licensing issue. Upgraded the license and Controller is coming up fine.

Thanks
