The operation CONFIGURE of addon am-configurator completed with an error

Question

I don't know why, but I can't get App Server to Start any more.
The only thing I can think of is that I've installed Tomcat & JBoss since the server was installed initially as part of JEE SDK. I am on Java version 1.6.0_04 & App Server is release 91. Googling has not led me to a resolution I can understand.
BTW:Both Tomcat/JBoss are services have been stopped when I attempt to start
Sun's incarnation...
Cheers folks/

Domain domain1 is ready to receive client requests. Additional services are being started in background.
Domain [domain1] is running [Sun Java System Application Server 9.1_01 (build b09d-fcs)] with its configuration and logs
at: [C:\Sun\SDK\domains].
Admin Console is available at [http://localhost:4848].
Use the same port [4848] for "asadmin" commands.
User web applications are available at these URLs:
[http://localhost:8080 https://localhost:8181 ].
Following web-contexts are available:
[web1 /__wstx-services portletdriver ].
Standard JMX Clients (like JConsole) can connect to JMXServiceURL:
[service:jmx:rmi:///jndi/rmi://JDL:8686/jmxrmi] for domain management purposes.
Domain listens on at least following ports for connections:
[8080 8181 4848 3700 3820 3920 8686 ].
Domain does not support application server clusters and other standalone instances.
Here is the server.log file, in case it helps to shed some light on the issue:

Answer 1

I have this same error when I start a freshly-created domain on 9.1_02 with patch 2 (build b06-p02).
Adding the line to $GLASSFISH_HOME/addons/accessmanager/am-install.properties didn't help.
