When "There is a process already using the admin port 4848", but it is not true
When you try to start Payara 5 / GlassFish with:
asadmin start-domain
...and you get the following error:
There is a process already using the admin port 4848 -- it could be another instance of Payara Server or Payara Micro.
Command start-domain failed.
although there is no running Java process and the port is not occupied, you hostname is probably not pingable:
ping $(hostname)
output: Request timeout
Solution:
Add the following line to the /etc/hosts
file:
127.0.0.1 [YOUR_NOT_PINGABLE_HOSTNAME]
It works for me :)

Hi, I have set already the "/etc/hosts" with the localhost IP, but the problem still. I tried change the default 4848 port but with the new port (4949) is the same error. Maybe are another thing that I need consider? thanks a lot
