Websphere administrative console greyed out

I am new to websphere. I am following an internal guide to setup my workstation. So I've created a profile, and then created the server using the profile, and now I need to run the administrative console.

But I can't because Administration > Run Administrative Console is greyed out.

What causes this ? How can I make it work ?

Solution

  • I'm assuming you are referring to option in RAD/Eclipse in the Server view.

    You first need to start the server, then the option will be enabled. You can start the server from the Server view also.

    To start server manually from command line, go to PROFILE_ROOT\bin and execute startServer serverName (usually server1).

    To access console, just open browser and use http://localhost:9060/ibm/console assuming default ports.
