Domain Restrictions
Configuring and Managing WebLogic Server 2-9
You can use the Configuration Wizard to create and configure domains. At the end of
a custom installation, you are prompted to run the Configuration Wizard. You can also
start the Configuration Wizard from the Start menu or by using a script.
For more
information, see Creating Domains and Servers.
When you use the Configuration Wizard to create a domain, it creates the
user_projects directory in the BEA Home directory as a container for your
domains. It also creates a root directory for the new domain and any other directories
specified in the domain template that you select to create the domain.
A Server’s Root Directory
All instances of WebLogic Server use a root directory to store runtime data and to
provide the context for any relative pathnames in the server’s configuration.
In addition, an Administration Server uses its root directory as a repository for the
domain’s configuration data (such as
config.xml) and security resources (such as the
default, embedded LDAP server), while a Managed Server stores replicated
administrative data in is root directory. (See Figure 2-1.)
