Launching WebSphere Portal

  1. Verify that the following servers and components, if applicable, are started:

  2. After the servers are all running, open a Web browser and enter the WebSphere Portal page URL:

    http://hostname.example.com:port/wps/portal

    ...where

    • hostname.example.com is the fully qualified host.name of the machine.

    • WebSphere Portal is running and port is the transport port that was created by WebSphere Application Server. This value is also stored in the WpsHostPort property in...

      /WPS_HOME/config/wpconfig.properties

    An example URL...

    http://www.setgetweb.com:10038/wps/portal

    If you have customized the WebSphere Portal page URL -- for example, by modifying the base URI portion of the default URL (wps) or the WebSphere Portal page (portal) -- be sure that you enter the customized URL.

  3. WebSphere Portal should load in the browser.

    If you get an Internal Server Error, WebSphere Application Server might not have completely started yet. Wait a couple of minutes to ensure that WebSphere Application Server has completely started and try to access the WebSphere Portal page again.

 

Start WebSphere Portal as bootup service on Unix/Linux operating system

    export SHLIB_PATH=/opt/WebSph[..clip..]hared/app/oiexport:$SHLIB_PATH

 

Run the validation task

There is also a configuration task that we can use to verify the operation of WebSphere Portal. This task can be a useful aid when attempting to determine the status of WebSphere Portal. To run the task, execute...

Any errors that are generated by the configuration task are stored in the messages log.
