Test Web Server Up

To test whether the Web Server that runs the portal is up, enter the command:

telnet portal.address.edu 9443

Replace portal.address.edu with the address of your Web Server machine. If you get a reply back like:

Trying IP address ...

Connected to portal.address.edu (IP address).

Escape character is '^]'.

Connection closed by foreign host.

The Web Server is running. If instead you get a message like:

telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused

then the port is not open.
