## Creating a Domain

Domains are created using the `create-domain` command. The following example command creates a domain named `mydomain`. The administration server listens on port 1234 and the administrative user name is `hanan`. The command prompts for the administrative and master passwords.

    $ asadmin create-domain --adminport 80 --adminuser hanan mydomain

To start the Admin Console for `mydomain` domain, in a browser, enter the following URL:

    http://hostname:80

For the preceding `create-domain` example, the domain’s log files, configuration files, and deployed applications now reside in the following directory:

domain-root-dir`/mydomain`

To create the domain’s directory in another location, specify the `--domaindir` option. For the full syntax of the command, type `asadmin help create-domain`.
