"The system cannot find the path specified." error message when trying to start GlassFish with asadmin

  1. Go to asenv.bat file in config directory
  2. remove line set AS_JAVA="C:/Program Files(x86)/Java/"
  3. retry asadmin.

It will work this time!.


I fixed this issue by editing glassfish3\glassfish\config\asenv.bat as described in domain1 not configured -- The system cannot find the path specified

then I got an error because no domains existed, that was solved by editing glassfish3\bin\asadmin.bat as described in Oracle Glassfish "There is no Domain" Issue Fix Solution


Hi I was facing the same issue. I am able to resolve the same issue by following below steps:

Go to \glassfish\config (Note: In my case it is c:\glassfish3\glassfish\config)

Now open asenv.bat in notepad.

Make the value of AS_JAVA same as JAVA_HOME environment variable.

Now open command prompt and go to the bin folder and run asadmin start-domain domain1.

If you are getting error that no domain exist then create new domain by following below link: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19776-01/820-4497/create-domain-1/index.html
