Create a Liberty profile server manually

To manually create a server...

cd /wlp/bin
server create server_name

If we do not specify a server name, defaultServer is used.

If the server is created successfully, you receive message:

Server server_name created

If the specified server already exists, no server is created and you receive an exception message:

CWWKE0005E: The runtime environment could not be launched.
CWWKE0045E: It was not possible to create the server called server_name because the server directory C:\wlp\usr\servers\server_name already exists.

We can assign custom bootstrap TCP/IP ports for the new server rather than using the default ones.

After creating server, we can configure features.
