IDEA was unable to start local server

I am trying to run Glassfish 4.1 in Intellij IDEA 13.1.4. I have set up basic settings in the Run / Debug Configuration window - the selected app server, jvm, put 2 artifacts to deploy, leave the default run / connect settings. When I try to run it, an exception is thrown. Here is the complete stack trace:

 /home/glassfish/glassfish/bin/asadmin start-domain domain1

 Waiting for domain1 to start .Error starting domain domain1.
 The server exited prematurely with exit code 1.
 Command start-domain failed.
 Before it died, it produced the following output:

 Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 9009

I am using Ubuntu OS 14.04 LTS, java-1.7.0-openjdk-amd64. Glassfish installed in / home / glassfish, the asadmin script has 777 permissions. The server starts when I start it from the terminal but not from the IDE.

Please help, this is going crazy!
