Verifying the installation

Use the following procedures to verify that your Enterprise Portal 6.0 installation is operating correctly.

StepsRunning Enterprise Portal Interface

  1. After installing Enterprise Portal, start Enterprise Portal by clicking on the link on the last installer window, or for a typical or custom installation, you can also start Portal Interface using the following URL, substituting your host name, domain, and port number:

    http://$HOSTNAME.$PORTALDOMAIN:port/onepage/index.jsp
    

    NoteThe default port for accessing the Portal is 8080. If, however, EAServer ports must be changed because of port conflicts, the actual port may be different. The HTML log on the final status panel of the installer contains the URL with the correct port number for accessing Enterprise Portal.

    For example, if your machine name is “labnt”, your portal domain is sybase.com, and your port number is 8080, you enter:

    http://labnt.sybase.com:8080/onepage/index.jsp
    

    This brings up the portal “Guest” page in a browser window. It may take a few moments to load the first time, as the Enterprise Portal application is compiled.

  2. Click Help, then select About Enterprise Portal. The title specifies the Enterprise Portal version. Click Close Window when finished.

  3. Click Join Now on the guest page to create your portal account. The self-registration window appears.

    NoteWhen you self-register in Portal Interface, use a different username and password for different portal co-brands.
