/>
ADMU0128I: Starting tool with the AppSh profile<br />
ADMU3100I: Reading configuration for server: server1<br />
ADMU3200I: Server launched. Waiting for initialization status.<br />
ADMU3000I: Server server1 open for e-business; process id is 3330<br />
<br />
the server starts but when i run the browser at localhost(<a
class="jive-link-external"
href="http://localhost:9081/">http://localhost:9081/</a>) i
get this error: <br />
<br />

WAS is not supported in Fedora, so that could be part or your problem, 
but aside of that, assuming that it got installed correctly and 9081 is 
the port it got assigned (9080 is the default usually), the URL you 
should use to access the console is

http://localhost:9081/ibm/console
or
http://localhost:9081/admin

Hi Juanma,<br />
<br />
Thanks for your reply.<br />
<br />
i have tried with both the urls:<br />
<br />
<a class="jive-link-external"
href="http://localhost:9081/admin/console">http://localhost:9081/ad
min/console</a><br />
<br />
output: Error 404: No target servlet configured for uri: /admin/console<br
/>
<br />
and <a class="jive-link-external"
href="http://localhost:9081/ibm/console">http://localhost:9081/ibm/
console</a><br />
<br />
output:Error 404: No target servlet configured for uri: /ibm/console<br
/>
<br />
the installation went fine and Fedora core 5 does support WAS. <br />
<br />
May be i need to set some path to run admin console...Please let me know if you
have a solution to the problem.<br />

It might be that Fedora supports WAS but I don't see that WAS supports 
Fedora. You can check the supported platforms at:

http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?rs=180&uid=swg27006921

Then it seems like 9081 is not your administration port, try then:

http://localhost:9061/ibm/console

or

http;//localhost:9061/admin (not /admin/console, btw)


if that doesn't work either, check with NETSTAT which ports get started 
after starting WAS.
