asadmin start-domain --debug=true
JDK: jdk1.8.0_172
Payara: 4.1.2.181
produces the following output.
Waiting for domain1 to start ..Error starting domain domain1.
The server exited prematurely with exit code 2.
Before it died, it produced the following output:
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM warning: ignoring option MaxPermSize=192m; support was removed in 8.0
ERROR: transport error 202: connect failed: Connection refused
ERROR: JDWP Transport dt_socket failed to initialize, TRANSPORT_INIT(510)
JDWP exit error AGENT_ERROR_TRANSPORT_INIT(197): No transports initialized [debugInit.c:750]
Command start-domain failed.
The glassfish log file only contains this:
There are no additional clues as to why it cannot start in debug mode.
asadmin start-domain works just perfectly.

any tips on how I should resolve this?
I have discovered that the domain.xml configuration files for debug startup were different between my version 172 and 181 are different.
174:
<java-config classpath-suffix="" debug-options="-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=9009,server=n,suspend=y" java-home="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_172" system-classpath="">
181:
<java-config classpath-suffix="" debug-options="-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=9009,server=n,suspend=y" java-home="C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_172" system-classpath="">
The server, suspend and java-home are different. The JDK path in the configuration file is correct.
They now both start, but why?
That looks like the ports used by Payara are already in use. The most likely reason for that is you already have a running instance of Payara which you haven't stopped.
You check what ports are in use by running netstat -ano.
Also, ensure that the startup options in domain.xml are correct. Some IDE's like Intelij Idea might change the options for local debugging - which break remote debugging. The options need to be restored.
