Case

You have to create a Weblogic 9.2 domain. When you launch the admin application, Weblogic tries to retrieve a wrong config.xml, in a location that you did not hint. Then, Weblogic suggests to create such config.xml

Short stacktrace

No config.xml was found.
Would you like the server to create a default configuration and boot? (y/n): n
<Feb 9, 2010 4:49:56 PM CET> <Critical> <WebLogicServer> <BEA-000362> <Server failed. Reason:

There are 1 nested errors:

weblogic.management.internal.InteractiveConfigurationException: \wrong\path\config.xml not found.
If you wish to have the server generate a default configuration file and boot, please re-execute your start command and respond to prompts or pass additional parameter of -Dweblogic.management.GenerateDefaultConfig

Fix

In your start scripts and $WL_HOME/bin/setDomainEnv.cmd, check your settings, among which all the occurences of DOMAIN_HOME. Another important parameter to check is LONG_DOMAIN_HOME.
