Weblogic is not starting

Question

I just downloaded wls1035_dev zip and set MW_HOME and updated PATH and I am trying to create a domain

Created a empty directory under wls1035_dev/server. Let it be dom . Then run the following commands as specified here

 java weblogic.Server

I faced a different issue for password and solved it with the help of -D flag for weblogic management.

Then I am getting the following error

  illegal state exception : io file not found :

File is weblogicdirectory\\wlserver\\server\\.product.properties

I couldn't figure out the file in that location also. What file it is? How to create it? Or what I am doing wrong?

Answer 1

There seems to be some fundamental errors.

You need to create your domain using domain configuration wizard. As explained here: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E16764_01/web.1111/e14140/newdom.htm

Also you are looking up an outdated documentation for start up command. Check below link out :

Answer 2

I have solved this problem.

NOTE: I am using zip distribution of wls. It's for development purpose. so It's already installed and used

So to create those product properties files , start configure.cmd and then proceed with the readme.txt in that zip file.
