Overview
This tutorial introduces you to the layout of the
Oracle WebLogic Server Administration Console. It gives you a
chance to practice changing properties and applying the changes. It also shows you how to run commands against the server and how to
configure and view log file entries.
Oracle WebLogic Server is administered using
a Web-based administration console that allows you to configure and
monitor Oracle WebLogic Servers. Log messages enable you to detect
problems and track the source of a fault and system performance.
To start the administration server,
perform the following
steps:
1.
Open a command shell, and navigate to your root domain directory.
Note: The location of your domain depends
on what directory you chose when creating the domain. The default
location is in the user_projects/domains directory of your Oracle WebLogic Server installation. The
sample domain used in this tutorial is called dizzyworld.
2.
Use the startWebLogic.sh
command to start the administration
server.
3.
If prompted, supply the credentials that you defined when you set up the domain, or
another valid administrator login.
4.
Ensure that your server has started properly by looking for
the line <Server started in
RUNNING mode>.
Log in using the credentials that you defined when you set up the domain, or
another valid administrator login.

4.
In the Domain Structure panel on the left, navigate to <domain name> > Environment >
Servers. Then click the name of the administration server ("AdminServer", by default).

In this
section, you use the Administration
Console to shut down the
administration server.

Select the check box for your administration server in the
Server Status table and click Shutdown.
