Verification Procedure 
After you have completed installing IBM WebSphere Portal Express, verify that the installation was 
successful by logging in to the portal using the  Portal Express Server Administrator (wpsadmin) and 
password. Launch IBM WebSphere Portal Express by selecting Launch WebSphere Portal Express 
from the IBM WebSphere Portal Express version 6 launch window. 
To launch IBM WebSphere Portal Express again in the future, select Start -> Programs -> IBM 
WebSphere
 -> Portal
Troubleshooting 
Open the Information Center for IBM WebSphere Portal Express and navigate to Troubleshooting -> 
Search the product documentation for a solution -> Troubleshooting WebSphere Portal Express 
Installation
 and review the detailed list of solutions to installation problems. 
Starting and Stopping the Portal Server 
Even though the default installation procedure installs the IBM WebSphere Portal Express Server as a 
Windows service, the service is set to be started manually (it is recommended that you keep this setting).  
Starting and stopping the portal server can be done either from the Windows Start menu or by command 
line. 
● From 
the 
Start menu: Start -> Programs -> IBM WebSphere -> Portal Server v5.0 -> Start the 
Server (and Stop the Server ) 
●  By command line, open a command window to <WAS_root>\bin (where <WAS_root> is 
c:\ibm\pe\websphere
) and issue the startServer or stopServer command.  See the 
following example:  
startServer WebSphere_Portal
 
or 
stopServer WebSphere_Portal
 
In addition to the WebSphere_Portal server, the IBM WebSphere Application Server named server1 
must be running to perform certain configuration tasks, as you see below.  Immediately following 
successful WebSphere Portal installation (and before rebooting the server), both servers should be 
running.  You can verify this by using the serverStatus command with the -all option.  The command 
(in the <WAS_root>/bin directory) displays all the defined application servers and their current status. 
Set up the Domino Directory Server 
This task needs to be performed on the following systems:  
Directory Server
