Start websphere application server

Question

I am new at websphere 8.5 and I have it installed , I want to enter the console page localhost:9060/ibm/console

But i am not sure how to start the application server inorder to access the console

Solution

Go to the WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\YourProfileName\bin folder and run

 startServer.bat/.sh server1

If you used defaults during installation/profile creation YourProfileName will be AppSrv1 and server name will be server1.

You can check server name running command:

serverStatus.bat/.sh -all

To verify if server is started check file:

 WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\YourProfileName\logs\server1\SystemOut.log

Look for server Open for e-business message.
