When you are ready to test your projects, you must start a server. In some situations, the server tools start a server for you automatically.

- Create a server
If you are trying to run the WebSphere Application Server other than the integrated test environment as a non-root user ID, this might fail. By default, WebSphere Application Server uses the root user ID to run the server. A non-root user profile must be created by the root user. Depending on the assignment of profile directory ownership that is completed by the installer, a non-root user can create a profile, start WebSphere Application Server, or do both.
- For WebSphere Application Server V8.5, see the Managing profiles for non-root users topic
- For WebSphere Application Server V8.0, see the Managing profiles for non-root users topic
- For WebSphere Application Server V7.0, see the Managing profiles for non-root users topic
- Starting a remote WebSphere Application Server that uses the workbench is supported only on Linux and Windows operating systems. For all the other supported operating systems that run WebSphere Application Server, you must manually start the server on the remote computer. For more information, see Starting a remote WebSphere Application Server.
