Cause:

Under DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/nodemanager directory, there is a file called startup-copy.properties file.

This file has ADMIN_URL parameter. Adminserver does not need ADMIN_URL parameter defined in start-up.properties. If it is present, then it results in the error.

Solution:

Make sure nodemanager.properties has StartScriptEnabled=true and StartScriptName=startWebLogic.sh
Under DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/nodemanager directory, make sure none of the files have ADMIN_URL parameter.
