Step 1: Invoking Configuration Wizard

For Unix/Windows start configuration wizard using Oracle/ Middleware/

wlserver_10.3/common/ bin/ config.cmd (windows) or config.sh(Unix). Double Click on

config.cmd (windows) or config.sh(Unix).

Create or Extend Domain- If we wish to Create new WebLogic Domain or Extend an Existing

WebLogic Domain.

Click Next.

Step 2: Select Domain Source


Click Next.

Step 3: Specify Domain Name and Location Enter the name and location for the domain

the Oracle WebLogic Server domain

Step 5: Select JDK & Start Mode.

Define Mode in which you wish to start your domain and JDK (Sun, JRockit or any other JDK)

Production Mode- Domain is more secure, You need username password to start domain or

deploy application.

Development Mode- Not very secure, You can Autodeploy application and no need to

provide username/password to start Domain.


Click Next

Step 6: Customize your domain

Create simple domain with Just one Administration Server (You can deploy your application

in Administration Server but this is not recommended in Production Instance).

To create Advanced Domain (one Administration Server and two Managed Server and

Cluster)go to step 10)


Click Next.

Step 7: Configure the Administration Server. Here we write Name , select Listen address, Listen port, SSL Listen port.


Click Next.

Step 8: Configuration Summary.

Click Create.


Step 9: Creating Domain- Finally, If we are installing on Windows, you can select to “Start Admin Server"

Click Done to finish Domain Installation.

Go to Start WebLogic and access Domain Console from browser.

Step 10: Select Optional Configuration

Create Domain with one Administration Server and two Managed Server Instance in

Cluster . Here are to create new Domain with one Administration Server and two Managed Server.


Click Next.

Step 11: Configure the Administration Server. Name – AdminServer, Listen Address – All IP address on machine, Listen port – 7003 ,SSL Listen Port – 7004.

Click Next.


Step 12: Configure Managed Server

Click Add.

Step 13: Configure Managed Server.

1) Name – WL_MS_1, Listen Address – All Local address, Listen port – 7005 ,SSL Listen Port – 7006.

2) Name – WL_MS_2, Listen Address – All Local address, Listen port – 7503 ,SSL Listen Port – 7004.


Click Next.

Step 14: Configure Cluster

Click on Add to create cluster and add Managed Server in Cluster. If we have NOT defined any

managed server in previous screen, you will NOT get this screen.

Define cluster with Cluster Name, Multicast Address, Port and address.


Click Next. Step 15: Configure Machine . Use this screen if we have more than one machine in our system. In our configuration

Administration Server and all Managed Server are on single machine.

Click Next.


Step 16 : Configure RDBMS Security Store Database. In the Configure RDBMS Security Store Database step, retain the default values .

Click Next.

Step 17: Review WebLogic Domain .

In the Configure RDBMS Security Store Database step, retain the default values.


Click Next.

Step 18 : Creating Domain. In the Creating Domain screen, mark the checkbox “Start Admin Server” .

Click Done.

Step 19 : Start Weblogic.cmd.

It then starts the WebLogic Server instance in command prompt. Supply the user name and

password when asked for.


Step 20 : Start Weblogic.cmd.

We can see the WebLogic Server instance in RUNNING mode.

Step 21 : To start the Web console Open the browser, enter http://localhost:7001/console and click Go.

Default Administration Port is 7001 so use port as 7001 (else use port we entered while creating WebLogic Domain) http://<servername>.domain:7001/console or http://localhost:7001/console (If we are accessing from server directly) Login to WebLogic Admin Console supply the user name and password created during WebLogic Domain Creation.


Step 22 : The home page for the Web console is displayed.
