Creating WebLogic Domains Using the Configuration Wizard

Starting the Configuration Wizard

This section describes how to invoke the Configuration Wizard in graphical and console modes. Topics include:

Starting in Graphical Mode

When run in graphical mode, the Configuration Wizard is executed in a graphical environment. The console for the machine on which the product installation resides must support a Java-based GUI. All Windows-based consoles support Java-based GUIs; only a subset of UNIX-based consoles support Java-based GUIs.

Note: If you attempt to start the Configuration Wizard in graphical mode on a system that cannot support a graphical display, the Configuration Wizard automatically starts in console mode.

You can start the Configuration Wizard in graphical mode from either the Windows Start menu or from the command line.

To start the Configuration Wizard in graphical mode on a Windows platform, choose the Configuration Wizard option from the BEA program group in the Windows Start Menu:

Start—>Programs—>BEA Products—>Tools—>Configuration Wizard

To start the Configuration Wizard in graphical mode from a Windows command prompt or on a UNIX platform:

Open an MS-DOS command prompt window (on Windows) or a command shell (on UNIX).

Go to the \common\bin subdirectory of the product installation directory. For example:

cd c:\bea\weblogic91\common\bin

Invoke one of the following scripts to start the Configuration Wizard in graphical mode:

Windows: config.cmd
UNIX: sh config.sh

Starting in Console Mode

When run in console mode, the Configuration Wizard is executed in a text-based environment.

To start the Configuration Wizard in console mode:

Open a command-line shell.

Go to the \common\bin subdirectory of the product installation directory. For example:

cd c:\bea\weblogic91\common\bin

Invoke one of the following scripts:

Windows: config.cmd -mode=console
UNIX: sh config.sh -mode=console

Note: The command and arguments must be entered in lower-case.

To finish creating your domain, respond to the prompts in each section by entering the number associated with your choice, pressing Enter, or typing next (or n) to accept the current selection. The arrow (—> ) indicates the value currently selected. To quit the Configuration Wizard, enter Exit in response to any prompt. To review or change your selection, enter Previous at the prompt.

Note: Instead of typing complete words when you want to enter [Exit], [Previous], and [Next], you can use the following one-letter shortcuts: x, p, and n, respectively.
