About New Profile Port Numbers

The WebSphere Administrative console is accessed via a web browser using a URL that is specific to the system running WebSphere. You need to determine the correct port number for your new profile before accessing the console, especially if you are using a Linux system.

A sample URL for accessing the console is shown below:

http://acscomputer:9061/ibm/console

By default, the main WebSphere Administrative console uses the following port numbers: 9060 (non-secure) and 9043 (secure). These port numbers are incremented by one for any additional profiles that are added to the main WebSphere profile.

The port numbers typically used for the Administrative console of a second profile are 9061 or 9044. However, if you have multiple versions of WebSphere installed, these port numbers are incremented and should have been provided on the summary screen during the profile creation process.

You can also examine the profile’s SystemOut.log file to determine the port numbers used. This file is located in the following directory:

<websphere_install_dir>\AppServer\profiles\<profile_name>\logs\server1
