Marina,
I understand your frustration. Sorry about the same.
But there was a bug introduced (6388717) that causes this problem.
Prashanth is working on fixing it.
For now, could you please do the following:
- asadmin start-domain --user <admin-user-name>?
Please let me know what happens.
Regards,
Kedar
