Starting a WebLogic Administration Server on the service host

Copy your domain onto the service host

Make sure your application (.war, .ear, .jar) files are in your domain directory.
Log into the service host.
Copy your domain directory into your domains directory on the service host.

If a static IP address is assigned for the WebLogic Administration Server in the config.xml file, change it to the IP address of the service host.
In the config.xml file, make sure these lines are included: HostnameVerificationIgnored="true" and ManagedServerIndependenceEnabled="false".
Check to see whether your domain contains a boot.properties file. If so, make sure you know its contents. If not, create one that contains the username and password for the domain.

Run the start WebLogic script:

cd WL_HOME/path_to_your_domains/your_domain
./startWebLogic.sh
If you don't know your domain's listen port number, watch the script output for a line that looks like this:

<Jan 15, 2005 6:31:40 AM MST> <Notice> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000355> <Thread "ListenThread.Default" listening on port 6600, ip address 10.10.74.7>

Note the listen port number; you will need it in the next step and again later.
Open a browser and go to http:/IP_address:port/console to launch the WebLogic console, using the IP address of the service host and the listen port from the last step.
