title: Why can't I reach Glassfish admin gui?
body: <p>Either I start Glassfish domain from NetBeans or from the <code>asadmin</code> console, I can't reach the admin panel.</p>
  
  <p>When I navigate to <code>http://localhost:4848</code>, first there's a page saying <em>"The Admin Console is starting. Please wait."</em>, then it tries to redirect to a page having title <em>"Login"</em>, but it loads, loads, loads forever. My CPU usage reaches 100% and nothing happens until I stop the server.</p>
  
  <p>I tried Glassfish v3.1, v3.1.2 and also the freshest v4.0, without any modification.</p>
  
  <p>About a year ago, v3.1 worked for me; I have no idea what could happen.</p>
  
  <p>The server log says Glassfish can't find image files.</p>
  
  <p>I uploaded the server log here: <a href="http://notepad.cc/share/LvaZvH23sF" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://notepad.cc/share/LvaZvH23sF</a></p>
  
  <p>I read somewhere that renaming the <code>console-updatecenter-plugin.jar</code>, and the <code>NO_NETWORK=true</code> option can solve similar problems, but these couldn't help for me.</p>
  
  <p>I use JDK 7, and I'm on Windows 7 if it matters.</p>
