Can't start managed server in Oracle Weblogic 10.3.2

Question

I installed Oracle SOA Suite 11g.
I start the NodeManager successfully.
I start the AdminServer successfully. When I go to start the soa serve (soa_server1) I get this output:

NMProcess: <Mar 15, 2010 3:33:30 PM> <WARNING> <Exception while starting server 'soa_server1'>

In the log file I've got this:

The commands to start the servers and each result are:

$wlst.sh  
>startNodeManager()  
Successfully started  
>nmConnect(......)  
Successfully connected  
>nmStart('AdminServer')  
Successfully started  
>nmStart('soa_server1')  
Given error...

When I start the servers using the scripts it works correctly:

$nohup $WL_HOME/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh > nodemanager.out &  
$nohup $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/soa_domain/startWebLogic.sh > adminserver.out &  
$nohup $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/soa_domain/bin/startManagedServer.sh soa_server > soa_server.out &

Do you have any clue of what is happening? If you need more info, just ask for it.

thanks in advance

> Booting as admin server, but servername, soa_server1, does not match the admin server name, AdminServer What is the command line you are using to start the server? Did you enroll the NodeManager into the domain? Can you start the server from Administrative Console? — Mircea Vutcovici, Mar 15 '10 at 22:02
How do I check if I enrolled the NodeManager into the domain? I don't know what you mean by that. Now you mention it, I can't start the Administrative Console. It might be listening only from localhost? How can I check that? — Neuquino, Mar 16 '10 at 09:46

The problem was that I was running wlst.sh from my home directory. wlst.sh must be run from $WL_HOME/common/nodemanager directory, because it uses the nodemanager.properties in the current directory.

The nodemanager.properties that solved my problem looks like this:

DomainsFile=/u01/app/oracle/product/11.1.1/mw/wlserver_10.3/common/nodemanager/nodemanager.domains  
LogLimit=0  
PropertiesVersion=10.3

My nodemanager was launched as a daemon service, and NODEMGR_HOME variable was properly set, but still error was the same.

For me the solution was to run managed server at least once with additional argument:

arg="Arguments=\" -Dweblogic.management.server=localhost:7001\""
prps=makePropertiesObject(arg)
nmStart(ManagedServerName,props=prps)

Nodemanager stores the arguments, and next time simple nmStart(ManagedServerName) works fine.

The same result (additional Arguments stored by nodemanager) is achieved with doing steps (this action is sufficient to perform one time):

1. run nodemanager

2. run admin server

3. go to admin /console and run managed server from there

3.a (or wlst: connect to admin and run managed)

But in this case your domain has to be configured to use that nodemanager

cd('/')
create(MachineName, 'Machine')
cd('Machine/' + MachineName)
create(MachineName, 'NodeManager')
cd('NodeManager/' + MachineName)
set('ListenAddress', MachineIP)
cd('/')
cd('Server/' + ManagedServerName)
set('Machine', Machine1Name)
