Go to the WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\YourProfileName\bin folder and run

 startServer.bat/.sh server1

If you used defaults during installation/profile creation YourProfileName will be AppSrv1 and server name will be server1.

You can check server name running command:

serverStatus.bat/.sh -all

To verify if server is started check file:

 WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\YourProfileName\logs\server1\SystemOut.log

Look for server Open for e-business message.

Follow :

  1. please start node agent go to WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\YourProfileName\bin then use command

    ./startNode.sh

  2. then only you are able to start the server go to WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\YourProfileName\bin and type

    ./startServer.sh "severname"

Note: if your nodeagent and dmgr is up then you are to stop and star your server through console

Pretty much what the others said in terms of starting up your server, but you might want to check out your port settings first to verify 9060 is the correct port you're looking for:

${PROFILE_HOME}/config/cells/${CELL}/nodes/${NODE}/servers/${SERVER}/server.xml

If you installed it locally on a windows machine, C-Drive, usually it's C:/IBM/WebSphere/wp_profile (or C:/IBM/WebSphere/Profiles/wp_profile) followed by the path above.

Please don't upvote mine, guys above are providing the main guidance.
