I am trying to access Payara Administration Console at http://localhost:4848/ but upon opening the link the window never goes beyond the screen saying The Admin Console is starting. Please wait. It keeps loading and loading. I have tried it on multiple browsers (Firefox, Chrome etc) but it didn't work. I also tried enable-secure-admin but no effect. However, I can successfully deploy my application war and can also access it. Below are the logs that I get when I try to access Admin Console (there are some expire SSL certs logs that I have omitted):

I am on Mac, java version is 1.8.0_161.
Payara version: Payara Server 5.192 #badassfish (build 115)
So, the issue is resolved somehow.
http://localhost:4848 still shows that main login page and stuck at The Admin Console is starting. Please wait.
However, I tried localhost:4848/login.jsf and patiently waited for like 30 seconds and a login screen popped-up. I entered my credentials there and then I was able to log in. I am still not sure though why the main URL is not working.
It works on Chrome as well.
