Limitations of servers due to invalid characters

If you install this product into a directory whose name contains a dollar sign ($) or any odd character such as #, %, +, or *, the server may not be created or will not be started successfully. To avoid this, do not install this product into a directory containing any of these characters.

When creating a WebSphere® test environment, server, or server project, do not include #, %, &, or * in the name. WebSphere Application Server does not support these characters.
