JVM failed to start: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/usr/libexec/StartupItemContext; error=2, No such file or directory


In my OS X Yosemite, I'm trying to start-domain in terminal:

sh asadmin start-domain mythMobile

and I get error:

JVM failed to start: java.io.IOException: Cannot run program "/usr/libexec/StartupItemContext" (in directory "/Applications/glassfish4/glassfish/domains/mythMobile/config"): error=2, No such file or directory
Command start-domain failed.

This problem appeared after I've installed beta Yosemite on my mac. Before I had Mavericks, everything worked correctly.

Have anybody faced with such problem?


Solution

  • Apple removed the file under OS X 10.10 (Yosemite). Unfortunately the path to the file is hard coded within the GlassFish startup code (GFLauncher.java) and not configurable.

    The GlassFish team is already aware of the issue: https://java.net/jira/browse/GLASSFISH-21113

    I hope there will be a fix for GlassFish 3 as well, since we still use it in production.
