Occasionally having localhost resolve is insufficient.
Check what the 'hostname' command shows, and make sure it resolves.
Typically one would make the host name resolve to a loopback
address, that is not localhost. For instance 127.0.1.1 is a common
choice, but any address, for any interface of the machine should do.
Assuming your machine's hostname is glassfish.internal.company.com I
would add the following to /etc/hosts:
127.0.1.1 glassfish glassfish.internal.company.com
Please state your OS, OS version, Glassfish version and Java vendor/version.
P.S. I also noted, that port 8080 is unavailable for the same reason.
