Unable to start Application Server 8.2

I cannot start the Application Server 8.2 installed on Windows XP Professional Platform with SP1.

When I ran the batch file asadmin start-domain creator,

it gave error message:

"Domain creator does not exist in c:\program files\Sun\Creator2_1\SunAppServer8\domains. Use different domain name or the --domaindir option. CLI156 Could not start the domain creator."

How to solve this problem?

Have you created a domain creator? The error message showed that you do not have a domain named creator.Can you run the bat command asadmin start-domain domain1 to see if you can start the default domain1?

If you had domnain creator, as sugessted by the error message. Use asadmin start-domain --domaindir <absolute path to domain creator> to start domain creator.

You'd better use the default domain domain1, but here is the syntax to create domain creator.

./asadmin create-domain --adminport 80 --adminuser admin creator

Enter your admin password: <your admin server password>

If you're asked to provide a master password, then enter changeit

To learn more about create-domain command, try this syntax:

./asadmin

asadmin>help create-domain
