Problems installing Glassfish on AIX with JDK1.5

If you are using an older version of JDK1.5 on AIX, you may encounter the following errors when starting up glassfish:

> asadmin start-domain
Starting Domain domain1, please wait.
Default Log location is /home/affinium7/mas/tmp/glassfish/domains/domain1/logs/server.log.
Redirecting output to /home/affinium7/mas/tmp/glassfish/domains/domain1/logs/server.log

Check your JDK Version using the command "java -fullversion":

> java -fullversion
java full version "J2RE 1.5.0 IBM AIX build pap64devifx-20060124"
>

The above is an old version, you will need to upgrade it (get the Sys Admin to do it)

Or, you can do the following:
1. In /domains/domain1/config/domain.xml , comment off:
-XX:MaxPermSize=192m
-client
-XX:NewRatio=2

2. In /lib/processLauncher.xml, comment off:




You should be able to do a start-domain now.
