How to create new domain in Weblogic using gui or console mode

How to create a new domain in Weblogic?

There are couple options when you want to create/ extend a domain in Weblogic: 

1. Configuration Wizard in either GUI/ or console ( text-mode mode)
2. WLST
3. Create the files manually
4. Copy the domain from another project :)

1a.Using the GUI mode:

in the shell go to the WLS binaries directory:

${WLS_HOME}/common/bin

and run the following script:

./config.sh

or

${WLS_BIN}/common/bin/config.sh

If the system can not support GUI mode, Configuration Wizard will start text-based mode.

1b. Using the console ( text-based ) mode:

in the shell go to the WLS binaries directory:

${WLS_HOME}/common/bin

and run the following script:

./config.sh -mode=console

or

${WLS_BIN}/common/bin/config.sh -mode=console

2. Using WLST mode
