Following error is encountered when trying to start Oracle Weblogic Server:
<Info> <Management> <BEA-141297> <Could not get the server file lock. Ensure that another server is not running in the same directory. Retrying for another 60 seconds.>
How do I overcome this error and start the server?

The error means that there is a file lock that could not be released, as the server was previously not shut down correctly. In this case you must follow the next steps: Navigate to tmp folder in your $DOMAIN_HOME directory.
Whenever you start any server, it creates lock files under $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/<server_name>/tmp with . lok extension and when you stop the server, it deletes these files automatically.
config.lok The config. lok file is just used for getting a file lock on the config. xml file, in order to ensure that config file updates run serially. It will not cause any problems if it exists in the directory.
The BEA Home directory is a repository for common files that are used by multiple BEA products installed on the same machine. For this reason, the BEA Home directory can be considered a "central support directory" for the BEA products installed on your system.
The error means that there is a file lock that could not be released, as the server was previously not shut down correctly.
In this case you must follow the next steps:
tmp folder in your $DOMAIN_HOME directory. (for example: C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_Home\user_projects\domains\mydomain\servers\AdminServer\tmp) AdminServer.lok
java.exe processes are running, which should not be there. If there are any, they would have to be killed.
