Unix: How do I start weblogic as root, yet have owned by non-root uid

I have a weblogic domain that used to be started by a non-root unix user, we
now wish to have this domain
started by the user "root" as we are using ports < 1024.
[Q] What do I have to do to achieve this ?
[Q] Which files will need to be owned by root ?
Weblogic documentation isn't clear on this.

http://e-docs.bea.com/wls/docs81/ConsoleHelp/machines.html
Does that answer it?

How to start Weblogic 10.3.5 managed server on port 80

Hello,
We're trying to understand how to start Weblogic as root so we can start on port 80 on Linux. We understand that we'll use the post bind UID to run as a non-priv user. Right now in the Admin console under the managed server, Server Start properties (node manager) we have the weblogic user as the user to start the server, which works. Is this where we'd put the root user? We tried that but it fails complaining about root user didn't have permission to start the server. Can someone shed some light?
Thanks

Hi
1. You are asking for 2 things here:
a) Start Weblogic as root user ?
Before I answer this question, who (Which User) installed Weblogic Software and who created Domain. I hope its NOT root user. Usually its not preferable to use root account for this. Instead create a new user account like for example oracle or some xyz. Then login with that account. Install Weblogic and create any Domain. I would NOT prefer/recommend using root account to install weblogic. This means, I would not recommend/support to start weblogic as root user. The thing is when you install weblogic, it stores/creates lots of files/scripts. Now when you start, it has to be same user. Because at the startup, we need to read files and also CREATE lots of temp files under domain root folder. So on unix, this becomes very complex. Simple answer is if you install weblogic and domain with user say "xyz" and try to start domain with "root", you corrupted your entire domain. Some files gets changed to root user and some files just FAIL saying you do not have permissions. So its just gone. If you are a Unix Geek, do some magic and restore all permissions back.
b) Start Weblogic at Port 80
Very Simple. Forget about above thing. Install Weblogic and create domain say with user "xyz". Just go to domain root folder, open config/config.xml file and edit the localport to 80. By default at time of domain creation if you used all the defaults like port 7001, then you will NOT see this entry in config.xml file. But still you can edit config.xml file manually. Stop the servers. Add a section with listen-port as 80. Just refer docs for the steps. After this change, your weblogic server is now running at port 80. NOW, the main precautions is make sure that you do NOT have any other stuff running at the same port 80. Otherwise, Weblogic server startup will fail saying port 80 is already is in use.
Now if you want both a) and b), still it is possible. But I would NOT want/recommend a), which is use "root" account to install weblogic server and create and start the Domain. Nope, totally not recommending and supporting this. Yes, port 80 can be used, but not the "root" account.

HT5248 How do you start the dictate feature?

After the update iWork still looks the same and search Help did not bring anything up. So how to you start the dictate feature to have your speech to text?

Once you upgrade to ML, you go to System Preferences and enable it. Then you select your shortcut for turning it on and off. The default is a double-tap on the fn key.

How do I start using photoshop?

I have just downloaded adobe which took 4 hours how do I start using it? i have the icon and ive signed in and I have the file what do I do now? please help im an idiot!!!

You mentioned you have downloaded the software. So you need to click on one of the files that is a .exe file.
Alternatively you can try re-downloading it from the direct download links available at : http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html
But make sure you follow the important steps mentioned on the page before initiating the download.

Starting weblogic in unix using "root"

We used to have an instance of weblogic user domain which the user used to start,
as we'd like to run this domain under ports < 1024, we now need user "root" to
start it.
[Q] Which files will need to be owned by root in order to do this ?
[Q] How can user "root" start the domain, yet the process remain owned by the
user ?
Given that in unix one doesn't want root owning the process, with all the
usual implication
it entails.
I'd appreciate if you can email me any tips you may have on the subject as
I don't get time to read this news group.
Thanks,

HEllo,
You can use the 'post-bind' option to start WLS as root, and switch to
an user when WLS is started. This is the safest way.

How to start weblogic as backend?

Hi,
I can telnet Unix server and start weblogic server. The problem is when
i logout. The weblogic is logout too. How to run weblogic as backend?
and won't logout even user logout. Any tips?
Thanks
Harden

[REPLY TO NEWSGROUP ------- This followup was posted to
weblogic.support.install and a copy was sent to the cited author.]
Actually you dont want to use nohup because it makes the process immune
to signals, like SIGQUIT which you want to be there for getting thread
dumps.
Cheers
Mbg
In article <[email protected]>, [email protected] says...
A good command to use in these situations is nohup.
You will also likely want to add start Weblogic.sh into your
//etc/rc.local
Thanks,
Michael

Hi Harden!
I start up WLS in HPUX like any process in background of course with root
user and then switching WLS to diferent user to protect it, just put nohup
in the begining and the symbol & at the end of the comand to start WLS...and
thats all.
Please check the information about start WLS in port 80 for unix
machines........
Another way doing this I guess is start WLS and then start the
console....and then close the WLS telnet....and console remains WLS up.
Hope this helps!

How to start WebLogic in Linux?

Could you tell me how to start WebLogic 5.1 in KDE?
Best Regards,

You need to open up a terminal session (Try xterm).
Change the directory to wherever you installed Weblogic (/home/Weblogic/) or
something along those lines. (cd is the command that you want)
Run the scripts located in that directory as specified in the Unix
documentation.

Solaris Weblogic 8.1 Server - starting Weblogic as non-root user

Hello,
Currently we are starting weblogic 8.1 server as the root user, but would like to start as a non-root user.
(our unix team isn't too happy giving us, the dev team the root password!).
Is it possible to start Weblogic 8.1 on Solaris 8 without the root password?...If so, can you point me, where I can find more information in the documentation, please.
thanx,
Vishwa

If you have managed to boot the server before in the past you should have a config.xml.booted file in your domain. Try using this to boot, if it works you can diff it with your possibly mashed config.xml to see what went wrong.

How to start weblogic instance using wlserv ant task

Hi,
Iam using weblogic 8.1
Iam trying to write build script which starts remote weblogic instance and does deploy using wldeploy and restarts the instance.
First iam trying with starting weblogic.
==============================
<wlserver
               dir="${server.project.root.dir}"
               domainName="${weblogic.domain.name}"
               serverName="${weblogic.server.name}"
               host="10.106.90.50"
               port="8001"
               generateConfig="true"
               productionModeEnabled="false"
               weblogicHome="${weblogic.home}/weblogic81"
          username="weblogic"
               password="password"
               args = "-XX:MaxPermSize=512M -Xms256m -Xmx512m"
               action="start">
               <classpath refid="weblogic.classpath"/>
          </wlserver>
==============================
Iam getting an issue here , it starts the weblogic but automatically it stops the weblogic , without any exception.
as per their documentation
"When you use the wlserver task in an Ant script, the task does not return control until the specified server is available and listening for connections. If you start up a server instance using wlserver, the server process automatically terminates after the Ant VM terminates. If you only connect to a currently-running server using the wlserver task, the server process keeps running after Ant completes."
I understand what they are saying , but what is the remedy to it , how to rectify it. I tried starting default server it gives NPE.
ITs kinda very urgent for me any help , or available scripts will be very use ful.
Thanks in advance.

Starting weblogic as other than root

          Hi,
          Is there a way to start weblogic with other than "root"?
          thanks!
          chuck


If you want to bind it to the port < 1000, then no, but it
          is possible to start it as root and change uid/guid to a non-
          privilledged user after it successfully binds to the port - see
          unix machine config in the console.

How can I avoid re starting weblogic when servlets change

Hello all,
I always re start weblogic server 6.1 upon any changes to class files or servlets. does any one know of any configuration settings to avoid a re start when ever my servlets or class files change ? I deployed the application in exploded format and not in .war file format.
thanks much
Srik.

Hi,
if your question is: how can I update changes in my WebApp without having to restart my Weblogic server, then I have a hint:
Maybe your server is running in productive mode. Try setting it to developement mode (edit the 'startWeblogic.cmd', find the line 'set STARTMODE=true' and change it to 'set STARTMODE=false').
After this change the server needn't be restarted to make changes take effect.
Hope this helps.
Thomas.

How to avoid JMS validation when starting weblogic server

Hi All,
When starting up WebLogic server, it will validate JMS destinations one by one for deployed applications.
If I don't connect the VPN, then these JMS destinations are not reachable, and WebLogic Server will spend a lot of time to try connecting to these JMS destinations.
Thus it will take a lot of time to startup the WebLogic Server.
How can I disable JMS validation when starting weblogic server?
Thanks and Regards!

Hi Daniel,
By blank do you mean that the screen is black? Is it gray? Is it blue? The word "blank" is vague when trying to determine and isolate startup issues.
