Hi I created a sample domain through weblogic configutration wizard.
Started the admin server for this domain(through user_prijects).Then stopped it.

Then i tried to start weblogic server (start\programs\oraweblogic\weblogic\weblogicserver icon)
But earolier it was starting well.

Now after creation of the domain. I am getting following error .

Moving to the correct forum

Eric

This exception is thrown when already a WLS process is running...try to kill all the WLS process running and restart the instance again.If it is a windows machine..use the process tab in task manager to see the java process running..and if it is unix machine please do a grep command to check the weblogic java process and kill it.

hi
i try to typr those commands:
ps -ef | grep "weblogic" Or ps -ef | grep "java" -> ther is no WLS instance
but i stiil got this error:

Then if you are so sure that your server is not running...try this :-

Delete the file AdminServer.lok

Go to
"your domain"\servers\AdminServer\tmp\

Delete the file AdminServer.lok.Then try starting the server.
