Starting WebSphere Application Server Community Edition

If you use WebSphere® Application Server Community Edition for your web applications, you must start WebSphere Application Server Community Edition before you can access the web applications.

To start WebSphere Application Server Community Edition, complete the step that is appropriate for your operating system:
  • On a Microsoft Windows computer, click Start > All Programs > IBM InfoSphere > Optim > Start WAS-CE, or run the script shared_installation_directory\WebSphere\AppServerCommunityEdition\bin\startup.bat. If WebSphere Application Server Community Edition is installed as administrator, you must run WebSphere Application Server Community Edition as administrator. To run WebSphere Application Server Community Edition as administrator, set the Run this program as an administrator property on the Compatibility tab of the Start WAS-CE shortcut to run WebSphere Application Server Community Edition as administrator by default.
  • On a Linux® or UNIX computer, run the script shared_installation_directory/WebSphere/AppServerCommunityEdition/bin/startup.sh.
