How do I launch WebSphere Portal Admin Console - websphere-portal

I have WebSphere Portal 8.0 on my laptop running Windows 7 Professional and I do not know how to launch the admin console.
I tried typing at the command prompt install-directory\wp-profile\bin startServer server1
and get a FileNotFoundException. When I look into the log it says...
Exception java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\IBM\WebSphere\wp_profile\config\cells\Mitch-PCCell\nodes\Mitch-PCNode\servers\server1\server.xml (The system cannot find the path specified.)
inside the "server" folder in above error is another folder for WebSphere_Portal but not for server1.
Many thanks in advance.
PS: I am very very very new to WebSphere Portal :)

Start the WebSphere_Portal server instead of server1. The WebSphere_Portal server is where Portal is actually installed. I don't think server1 is really used for anything any more in Portal 8.

10032 for https!!
Url is https://localhost:10032/ibm/console
and that's it

Open a terminal.
Go to C:\IBM\WebSphere\wp_profile\bin.
Start Server with this: startServer WebSphere_Portal.
Default Admin Console Url is : localhost:10032/ibm/console

To find out the console port
from the IBM/Websphere folder
find and open AboutThisProfile.txt
Look for these values:
Administrative console port: 9102
Administrative console secure port: 9104
Then depending weather it is secure or not, use the following:
https://localhost:9104/ibm/console
http://localhost:9102/ibm/console

All the ports can be checked in Ports Page (WAS9 is referred here ).
Application Servers -> (Choose your server) -> Ports
Port of wc_adminhosts will be for admin console

If you are working on Rational Application Developer IDE and looking for admin console follow below
Look for the Server Palette usually bottom pane in IDE and see if you have the server configured as shown below
find the mouse over Administration , then click on Run Administration console tab
this will open the admin console in IDE's internal browser

Azure AD Joined PC Remote Desktop not working

The article https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/client-management/connect-to-remote-aadj-pc shows how to connect to an AAD joined PC from another AAD joined PC. I have followed these instructions.
The LENOVO Thinkcenter Edge machines are both brand new installs of Windows 10 updated to 10.0.19042.928 and registered to AAD with the same user. For testing, both PC are on the same network and have 10.6.2.xx IP's. Wireshark shows that the PC's can connect to each other. Remote Credential Guard has not been enabled. The standard "can't connect" error shows. Remote users now connected to Azure AD cannot work remotely. Can anyone advise?
sysdm.cpl
Remote Desktop
Enable Remote Desktop
Connecting
Failed
To make it working from any, even not AzureAD joint PC, just add
enablecredsspsupport:i:0
authentication level:i:2
at the end of RDP file. You may use any text editor to do it.

To use remote desktop to an AzureAD connected PC, you need to change the Network Profile to Private for the network connection that you are using. This isn't documented and no error shows when you try to turn on Remote Desktop if Public is selected.
I was unable to get NLA working so followed this post to disable it..

Team-viewer disconnected after disconnecting from remote desktop connection, why?

I want connect to a remote computer (windows server 2012 data center) using team-viewer but remote desktop connection should be opened and connected when I want use my team-viewer for connecting to server team-viewer. if not, team viewer in my computer returns this error:
After reconnecting to remote using windows remote desktop connection, I can see the screen again without this error. What should I do to connect team-viewer directly to server without active remote desktop connection?
You also could change some settings so that the user is allowed to stay actively logged in (as was the case in previous windows server versions).
The topic below describes a case where idle users were logged out, it was suggested to disable windows settings so that the user session would remain logged in.
https://superuser.com/questions/558920/disable-windows-server-2012-automatic-log-off
This happens because of the following reasons.
If you RDP (and then you minimize the RDP session, or let go of it)
Log out of the user that has the Teamviewer open
Let the PC idle out.
Solution to override this issue.
INSTALL TEAMVIEWER AS A SERVICE - Turn off your quick-run/quick-support of teamviewer and go to www.teamviewer.com and install the program to launch on boot (that will install it as a service), you will see the option for that during installation. Then that error will never turn up, even if your RDPs. If its already installed, here are the instructions on how to make it run as a service.

Rational Application Developer 9.1.1, unable to add runtime Websphere Portal runtime

I am unable to add Websphere Portal 8.5 CF07 installation as a runtime in Rational Application developer 9.1.1 client.
Selecting my 8.5 installation without any fixpacks works as expected.
For 8.5CF07 the runtime dialog gives no errors, but the finish button stays grayed out.
Both installations 8.5 and 8.5CF07 are installed on my local machine on the same drive.
Any idea how to solve or debug this issue? Do I need another server adapter? If so, where can I download newer adapters? I have checked the Eclipse Market place and several IBM Repositories.
I am using Windows 10 as OS.
Did you installed the Portal server adapters when installing RAD? did you installed RAD via Installation Manager? if so, launch IM and modify your installation to include the Portal adapters.
Can you please share the location of your Portal 8.5 CF07 directories (PortalServer and AppServer)?
Typically (you probably already know this) CF is installed on top of an existing Portal installation. Make sure that while defining a new server, you provide the correct path to the PortalServer directory in the WebSphere Portal location field and also the correct path to the underlying WAS server in the WebSphere Application Server location field.
See the image here http://i.stack.imgur.com/hoOHC.png
Also, you can try to restart RAD with a new workspace. RAD should automatically detect the Portal Servers.
Thanks,
Gaurav
A reinstall of the portal server, with the default was profile folder name: "wp_profile", solved the issue. In previous installs we used "WPProfile" as folder name.

Tomcat 6 configuration for standalone server

I have the web app that works one my tomcat 6 (local) on Windows. I have bouhgt dedicated server and installed on it tomcat 6. Ubuntu is installed on server. Now if I try to enter my webapps http:\{ipaddress}{web-app} the browser opens title web page. Then appears dialog window for entering log name and password. But on pressing button login browser Chrome is saying that on accessing servlet {servletname} server returns Status Code:500 Internal Server Error.
How should I configure tomcat6 for Internet? I think that catalina doesnt return answer from servlet for outside request.
I want to use tomcat6 as standalone server.
your question is not clear dude! i have tomcat 7 configured and accessible from internet since i have valid IP on my server. try to take a look at tomcat log (usually at /var/log/tomcat6(or 7)/...

TFS Reporting Services Configuration Error - The RPC Server is Unavailable

I'm trying to configure Team Foundation Reporting but without any success.
The App Tier and the Data Tier are in separate servers.
I guess it's not a port/firewall problem, because I opened port 135, and I can see the established connection by using TCPView (from Sysinternals) whenever I click "Populate URLs" in the Reports tab in TFS Administration Console. I can also telnet servername 135 without any problems.
I also checked if WMI service is started in the Data-Tier. And for SQL Server Reporting Services. Also checked for RPC and RPC Locator in both servers. They're all started and automatic.
I also set tfs app user as admin in sql reporting services. Added all kinds of permissions to the tfs user in the Data-Tier server.
I set all user permissions in dcomcnfg.
Allowed all WMI namespaces permissions to the user. (Computer Management -> WMI Control)
Deactivated Windows Firewall in both servers temporarily.
No luck.
However, in the app-tier, when I click Computer Management -> Connect to another computer, and type the data-tier IP, i can't connect. I get the message "Computer xxx cannot be managed. The network path was not found". How is that ? Tried IP, name, and FQDN. I also tried browsing and selecting the computer. Nothing changed.
I'm lost, what could possibly be happening ?
Thanks in Advance!
i'm betting that you're having the double-hop issue. try having your system admin set an spn for the website on the sql server.
you also need the AD permission 'trust for delegation' on the AD Service Account, right?
do that and SetSpn with the service account, that should help I think that the SPN option was spot on
See this answer:
IIS to SQL Server kerberos auth issues
which links to an old but user-friendly troubleshooting web app called DelegConfig. It can try to run the SetSpn commands for you, at least giving you an idea of what they need to be.
I ran into SPN issues when using an externally-accessible URL (+SSL) everywhere.
