title: how to connect to WebSphere 7 admin console, or how to view error logs if it's not starting?
body: <p>I have IBM RAD / WebSphere 7 installed locally.  My web application I'm developing runs fine.</p>
  
  <p>I'm trying to log into the WAS admin console.</p>
  
  <p>In the "Servers" view, I right-click the server > Administration > Run Administration Console ... but I get a "webpage cannot be found" error page.</p>
  
  <p>In Firefox, I attempt to browse to the admin console URL, I tried each of the following but no luck:</p>
  
  <pre><code>http://localhost:9091/ibm/console/logon.jsp
  http://localhost:9091/ibm/console/
  http://localhost:9060/ibm/console/
  http://localhost:9060/admin
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Any ideas what the URL is?</p>
  
  <p>Or, alternately, if the admin console is not starting due to some error, is there a log file somewhere where I can find the error?</p>
  
  <p>Any help is greatly appreciated!</p>
