Setting up the application server

Before you begin

A regular installation of WebSphere® 8.5 Base must be installed. Installation of the server war file requires the use of a Java 7 environment in the Application Server. For more information about the Java requirements, see http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=swg21976905
Note: It is necessary to create the WebSphere profile in a folder that does not include any spaces in its path. Otherwise, unrecoverable issues might occur when you deploy the application war file.

About this task

Use the WebSphere Integrated Solution Console to configure the application server.

Procedure

To access the Integrated Solution Console, complete the following steps:
  1. In your browser type
    https://[server : port]/ibm/console
where server is the IPaddress or name for the application server machine
for example localhost or 192.0.2.0
and port is the port that the server is listening on.
    The default port for the WebSphere Application Server admin console is 9060.
  2. Log on with the ID and password that you defined when you installed WebSphere.
