The WebSphere Express server can be very easy to install if this is the first HTTP server installed on your iSeries server. You can use the defaults for IP address and port when creating a new Express server instance, and be assured that you won't have any TCP application conflicts.

If this is not your situation, you may want to check with someone who knows TCP on the iSeries to see what an appropriate IP address and port should be for your Express server. Given either of the scenarios above, the basic steps to set up a new Express server and test it are summarized briefly below:
