When I try to register my local application server, the wizard shows the message "No registerable default domains available" and won't let me proceed. No explanation why it fails, not even in the log. If I instead choose "Register Local Domain" I can get to the next panel but then it won't accept the domain directory although the domain is up and running. Finally, If I register it as a remote server, deployment of web applications won't work. It fails with a message saying that it can't start the server and that I have to do it manually, although it is already running.
This domain is on XP or Unix? Who created it? A different user than the IDE user? This might be because of protection errors... Let us know. In this case, this would not be a P2, even if we need to improve the message with accurate info.
I'm using linux and the domain is running on a dedicated user account. I have full write access to the entire AS installation though so it is not a permission problem AFAICS.
This looks like a permission problem...
*** Issue 71334 has been marked as a duplicate of this issue. ***
The behavior described in entry one in the first two paragraphs of this bug is "correct". The behavior in entry one, paragraph three is a bug. Addressed by: http://serverplugins.netbeans.org/source/browse/serverplugins/sun/appsrv81/src/org/netbeans/modules/j2ee/sun/ide/dm/SunDeploymentManager.java?r1=1.10.4.5.2.6&r2=1.10.4.5.2.7 I would discourage folks from changing the permissions of the app server installation files/directories.
