Starting the WebLogic Administration Server
Administration Guide 2-11
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. For
example, if you specify
./MyLogFile as the name and location of a server’s log file,
then the server creates a file named
MyLogFile in its root directory.
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
fileRealm.properties). See Figure 2-1.
Figure 2-1 Root Directory for WebLogic Server Instances
A server’s root directory must be below a directory named
config. For example, the
following directories are valid root directories:
c:\config\MyManagedRootDir
c:\config\MyDomain
