Answer 1

There is a lock file on the server.log. GlassFish won't start if it can't write to that log. Try deleting the lock file: C:\Program Files\glassfish4\glassfish\domains\domain1\logs\server.log.lck

Answer 2

This is because of the path for your installed Glassfish server:

C:\Program Files\glassfish4

This directory in Windows need admin permission in order to perform edit to server.log

Relocate Glassfish server directory to get rid of the error, for example move it to:

C:\glassfish4

As a notice don't forget to edit configuration of Glassfish server inside IntelliJ IDEA.
