Next step after WEbLogic Installation and Domain Creation here Domain Creation is to know about startup/shutdown in WebLogic Server.
Before starting services in Oracle WebLogic, ensure that you are familiar with Domain, Administration & Managed Server
There are multiple ways to start WebLogic Server(listed below). This post covers WebLogic Startup/Shutdown using scripts. Start WebLogic using Node Manager, WLST (WebLogic Scripting Tool) or other tools coming soon …
There are two type of WebLogic Server instance in a domain, Administration Server and Managed Server.
–You can start Managed Server without Administration Server with exception for first time. If you are starting Managed Server for first time]then Administration Server should be Up. Managed Server can cache config files locally(in its local config directory) and later Managed Server can start on its own.
– To start Managed Server using script, supply Admin Server protocol, Server Name and Listen Port(check startup command for more information).
–If startup mode of domain is “production” then startup will prompt you for username & password to start services (You can create define username/password in boot.properties file. Coming soon !!!).
–If you create domain and startup mode is “development” then startup will not prompt for username/password as username password are stored in boot identity file in security directory of Domain at BEA_HOME / user_projects / domains / <domainName> / servers/ <serverName>/ security / boot.properties
.
Ways to start Administration Serverin Oracle WebLogic
1.Using startup script
2. From Windows Start Menu (windows only)
3. Using “java weblogic.Server” command
4. Using WLST (WebLogic Scripting Tool) and Node Manager
5. Using WLST without Node Manager
.
Ways to start Managed Serverin Oracle WebLogic
1.Using startup script
2. Using Administration Console
3. Using WLST and Node Manager
4. Using “java weblogic.Server” command
.
1. Starting Administration Server (startWebLogic.cmd or .sh)
2. Starting Managed Server (startManagedWebLogic.sh or .cmd)
.
A. To Start WebLogic Administration Server Instance
Go to domain for which you wish to start Administration Server
cd $BEA_HOME/user_projects/domains/<domain_name>/bin
startWebLogic.cmd (for Windows)
startWebLogic.sh (for Unix)
confirm that WebLogic Adminstration Server started properly by looking at message “Service started RUNNING mode“. Log file in below picture shows that AdminSever is listening on Port 7001 and all IP addresses on specific machine.
Startup/Shutdown Log file can be found at $BEA_HOME/ user_projects/ domains/ <domain_name> /servers/<ServerName> /logs / <ServerName>.log
.
B. Start Managed Server Instance
If you created Managed Server while creating domain then you can start Managed Server using startManagedWebLogic command
$BEA_HOME/user_projects/domains/<domain_name>/bin
startManagedWebLogic.cmd <managed_server_name> <admin_url> (for Windows)
startManagedWebLogic.sh <managed_server_name> <admin_url> (for Unix)
I created Managed Server MS1 with Admin Port as 7003
startManagedWebLogic.cmd ms1 http://localhost:7003 (Windows)

What is url for the access of managed server
You manage managed server via administration (admin) console.
To access application deployed on managed server use port defined for managed server (If no proxy server is in front)
Hi Atul,
I am new to all this stuff. I am uploading some html files and javascripts to the peoplesoft’s weblogic server. For the first time it’s working fine. But if I overwrite my updated code with the same file name using secure fx. It’s giving HTTP server error. Can I know what’s the reason. Do we need to restart weblogic server after uploading.
Thanks in Advance,
Mahesh

Hi Atul,
The way of explaintion is very nice and easy to understand the basic concepts.
Planning to do certification, can you provide details(content which we need to prepare) or link

Can youi help me please ?
@ Samy,
What is your Administration Server port ?
If you are starting Managed Server for first time then you need to start first Administration server (only for first time)
What user names you configured at time of domain creation ?
Hi Atul,
i tried to start managed server using admin console.
its giving some error like,
The server ManagedServer_1 does not have a machine associated with it.
All of the servers selected are currently in a state which is incompatible with this operation or are not associated with a running Node Manager. No action will be performed.
Can you suggest, what can be the problem?
Regards,
Jay
@ Jay, In order to start/stop Managed Server from console, you first need to configure/start node manager then define machine (in console) and finally associate manager server with machine.
You can use command line tool $DOMAIN_NAME/bin startManagedWebLogic.[sh|cmd]
Atul
Hi Atul,
I am not able to connect weblogic server console after successfully installing the same. The base_domain has also been created successfully. Here is the log of starting web logic server…
But the URL http://:7001/console is not responding.
It will be really helpful if you can guide me in troubleshooting this problem.
Thanks,
Amit
Copying the log of weblogic server startup……
Also the URL is https://myhostname.com:7001/console
the admin server startup logis copied again..
The URL I m using is https://myhostname:7001/console. Sorry for the typo…… Amit
@ Kamit ,
Check logs at $INSTALL_BASE/ user_projects/ domains/ base_domain/ servers/ AdminServer/ logs
Are you using https or http ?
Default it listen on http with port 7001
1. I checked the log at $INSTALL_BASE/ user_projects/ domains/ base_domain/ servers/ AdminServer/ logs and it shows that the server started in RUNNING mode
2. I tried with both options https and http. None of them worked.
3. Can you let me know how how can I default it listen on http with port 7001? I guess when I created a base domain using quickStart, it did automatically.
Can you also let me know how to check if host adminport (7001) is available and listening?
@ Kamit,
How to check default port and protocol on which weblogic Administration server is listening ?
I am assuming that domain name you selected during installation is base_domain so
$INSTALL_BASE/ user_projects/ domains/ base_domain/ servers/ AdminServer/ base_domain.log
There should be entry like
#### <>
As per above log
Server name is focusthread.com
IP address is XX.XX.XX.XXX
and Port is 7001
and protocol is Non SSL (http or t3)
#### <>
Hi Atul,
Thanks for your inputs. Its working fine now. The only issue is I have to enter IP address only. When I try with the mapped hostname entry it gives error as “[code=DNS_HOST_NOT_FOUND] The host name was not found during the DNS lookup. Contact your system administrator if the problem is not found by retrying the URL"
Hi Atul,
I am trying to modify the shutdown scripts so that even if it is an unresponsive server, I can use kill to stop the instance. However, I need to know what the stop.py script will return if it fails to stop an unresponsive server. Any ideas?
Hi Atul,
Just go through the following & let me know the solution. i am trying to connect the admin server with default port through WLST. but here firewall implemented. due to that i am getting the following error.
wls:/offline> connect(‘weblogic’,'weblogic’,'t3://172.27.49.169:7001′)

@ Siva,
If port 7001 across firewall is blocked then either ask firewall team to open port or run WLST from machine where 7001 port is open for Admin Server
Harlo, may i ask how to start the weblogic without depend on my terminal console. everytime if i close the terminal windows, the weblogic server service sure will shutdown.
Can you guide me for that?
@ Lennon,
use nohup and &
nohup – nohup is a POSIX command to ignore the HUP (hangup) signal, enabling the command to keep running after the user who issues the command has logged out.
& – to run a process in background
so start weblogic in background (so that it doesn’t shutdown after exit) is
nohup ./startWebLogic.sh &
Hi Atul,
Great, it’s worked. Thanks alot..
is thare a way in windows other than services
to keep startweblogic.cmd to be running even though the user exited or logged out
very urgent thanks in advance..
@ Vijay
One option is to run the process as an at job … see ‘help at’ for details …

hi,
i am able to start weblogic using my script..
but when i tried it starting from init.d
i am unable to start deployed application
error is no ocijdbc10 in java library pat when running weblogic as a service
@ Lucky1289, This means that when starting weblogic using init.d it is not setting class path correctly. How did you configure init.d ? please update exact steps.
hi atul,
i installed weblogic application server, when iam running startWeblogic.cmd it is executing few steps and getting closed instantly.
can you suggest me what could be the error.

Sridhar
@ sridhar,
You have two option here
1) Either run startWebLogic.cmd from command prompt (instead of double click on startWebLogic.cmd)
2) Or check output under %DOMAIN_HOME%\servers\AdminServer\logs
where default DOMAIN_HOME is directory user_projects\domains\base_domain specified during domain creation
Hi Atul,
I am upgrading from OID 10.1.4 to 11g and am unable to get a commandline option to start/stop DIP and monitor it. Any pointers?

@ Anita,
DIP in OID 11g is J2EE application deployed on WebLogic
Check

To start DIP from command line start wls_ods1 (managed server on weblogic) which will start DIP & ODSM application.
cd $DOMAIN_HOME/bin
startManagedServer.sh wls_ods1 http://weblogicServer:7001
where 7001 is admin server port

halo atul,
can you help me,i was able to start node manager n throw it to background, but how can i start the weblogic server to acces the adm console?
i’m very appreciate for your help.
Regards
Liliek
@ Liliek
To start Admin server in background
1. Create boot.properties under $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security with entry like
USERNAME=weblogic
PASSWORD=
2. Start Admin Server in background as
nohup ./startWebLogic.cmd &
Hi Atul,
i’m sorry, looks like i never told you i use Linux.
n in adminserver there’s no security folder.
so i create the directory security n file boot.properties with an entry username n password?
Thx
@ Liliek,
Yes that is correct.
Hi Atul,
it works, but for the entry i must fill with the encrypted one. ( pass and user )
anyway thx atul, i really appreciate ’bout u’r guide.
atul, is there any chances to start the node manager and admin server without throw the process to background?
the problem is my server may down any time, so i must remote to startup again.
thats why i ask you technic to startup weblogic server n throw it to background.\
Thx
@Liliek,
Yes starting service with server restart and other good tips for startup/shutdown is covered in chapter 4 of my book at https://www.packtpub.com/oracle-identity-and-access-manager-11g-for-administrators/book
hi. i am newbie, running wls1033 on one linux machine. i am able to access the AdminConsole(started by startWebLogic.sh flawlessly).
now i have created machine ‘machine00′ and then server ‘server00′ (associated with machine00). when tried to start server00 from within AdminConsole, i got “For server server00, the Node Manager associated with machine machine00 is not reachable”. figured out that i have to run/execute startManagedWebLogic.sh BUT then server00′s status is running in the AdminConsole and beat the purpose of having ‘Start’ button/function.
questions:
1) to start the managed-server, we must run the startManagedWebLogic.sh. true/false?
2) we cannot start the managed-server via AdminConsole. true/false?
tqvm.
Hello Atul,
I have a question for which I never could find an answer.
Imagine you have two servers.
Server 1 : Admin and mgs1
Server2: mgs2
I start:
Server 1: nodemanager, Admin, StartCluster
Server2: Nodemanager
But imagine that Server2 crash and come back.
Than I start nodemanager on it.
What should I do next??
Best Regards
@ jessica,
It depends on nodemaaner.properties file on node2 . If autostart on crash recovery is enabled and nodemanager is configured to auto start with server reboot then node manager on server 2 will try to start failed managed server on node2 .
If auto start on crash recovery is not enabled or node manager is not running on node2 then you should start managed server on node2 manually (either from command line or console)
@ man,
Q: When tried to start server00 from within AdminConsole, i got “For server server00, the Node Manager associated with machine machine00 is not reachable”.
A: You need to start NodeManager on server using startNodeManager.sh
Q: Figured out that i have to run/execute startManagedWebLogic.sh BUT then server00’s status is running in the AdminConsole and beat the purpose of having ‘Start’ button/function.
A: This is because you should start Node Manager using startNodeManager.sh (startManagedWebLogic.sh is command line utility to start managed server)
Q: to start the managed-server, we must run the startManagedWebLogic.sh. true/false?
A: True, this is one of the method . Other ways are to start using weblogic console and java class
Q: we cannot start the managed-server via AdminConsole. true/false?
A: False. You can start managed server using AdminConsole. There are few prerequisite for this.

Atul,
Greetings!!!
We upgraded the OID 10g to 11g . after starting all the services, DIP services are going down.
When checked in log file, we are getting getting Caused By: java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: unable to create new native thread
#### <>
Any idea on this to fix this?
How much free memeory is available on server ?
You should change JVM size of wls_ods1 to 2-3 GB (DIP runs from this managed server) depending on how many ldap/applications you are synchronizing/provisioning from OID.
its is fine but when i press ctrl+c to exit from the command the managed server again comes in Shutdown state.
if i append & character at the end of the script i am unable to start the managed server.
can anyone help please.
Thanks,
Ashish
Use nohup
1. Create boot.properties with content as
username=weblogic
password=
and then start weblogic server as
2. nohup ./ &
For windows , you can create service.
Hi Atul,
Thanks for ur promt response.I will try this and let u know.
1 more quest : Do i need to create boot.properties file for Managed Server also??
As i have already created this file for Admin Server and its working fine there.
Thanks,
Ashish
@ Ashish,
boot.properties is required only if you wish to start Admin or Managed server from command line.
If you are using WLST or Console to start managed server then boot.properties is not required for managed server.
@Atul : Many Thanks for ur reply.
I tried with nohup ./… & but this will take logs to nohup.out and i was not able to enter username and paswsword here.
Then I tried only ./startma.sh
above commnad runs but asking for Username and password.I gave them and server comes in running state as
==================
=======================
However when i press ctrl+c it shows like :
==================
^C
<Server shutdown has been requested by >
======================
Please help me what to do ??
@Atul : May be i have to made my own script which will call the startManagedWeblogic.sh which contains details of my Managed Server which m starting..
@ Ashish,
I don’t think you did all as I said earlier as boot.properties in managed_server/security directory which should take care of username/password.
To give name of managed server like oim_server1 run
nohup ./startManagedServer.sh oim_server1 &
@Atul : thank you..I will try it and let u know..
1 more question
: I dont have any security folder in Managd Server directory.Do i need to create as like in Admin server dir.
Also command is like
nohup ./startaMa &
or
nohup ./stsrtMa &
Please bear my questions as i am new to weblogic
Thanks in advance
@Atul: Many thanks for your support it’s worked and problem is solved now.
Please if you could tell me the steps to configure Node Manager so that I can start and stop server from the console itself.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks,
Ashish
@ Ashish,
Search on this website , there is plenty of information on NodeManager and how to configure it. Let me know if you can’t find required information.
@Atul : Thanks a lot for your support Atul.
I read your blog regarding configure Node Manager to start/stop managed Server via Console and really it was great.
I am able to configure the Node Manager and now I can do start/stop server from Console itself.
One more little thing I want to add there that in nodemanager.properties also needs to be configured to do this activity.
Thanks,
Ashish
@Ashish,
nodemenager.properies is used by Node Manager during startup. If there is no nodemanager.properties then Node Manager start up script will create one.
One thing you need to take care for fusion middleware products is that set startScriptEnabled to TRUE in nodemanager.properties file
@Atul : Many Thanks for your help !!
Now I have installed Weblogic Server ,Configured Domain ,Created Managed Server ,Configured Node Manager.
Question
: Can I change Managed Server name after its creation (if yes then how)?
Thanks,
Ashish
@ Ashish,
AFAIK you can’t change name of Managed Server however you can change hostname or IP on which Managed Server is running .
Hi Atul,
I have deployed web application on Weblogic Server.It comes with URL http .
If I want to change my application URL to https than do I need to configure SSL on weblogic or any change in the application itself.
Thanks ,
Ashish
@Atul : Please help me on the above question as its urgent to me.
Thanks,
Ashish
