You generally need to run startServer from the profile directory, i.e. ${WAS_INSTALL_ROOT}/profiles/${USER_INSTALL_ROOT}, unless there is a default profile defined. USER_INSTALL_ROOT is the name of the profile.

A node might have several profiles installed so it needs to know where to look to find the server definition.

You can use the manageProfiles command to list profiles and also to check/set the default profile for the machine.

Have a look at the documentation of startServer and manageProfiles commands at the IBM Infocenter.
