403 Forbidden You don't have permission to access / on this server.

To start API Portal on Windows

1. Start API Portal automatically or manually by doing one of the following:

Automatic: Start API Portal automatically using a Windows shortcut, as follows:

Start > All Programs > Software AG > Start Servers > Start API Portal n.n

Manual: Start API Portal manually from the API Portal Cloud Controller (ACC), as follows:

Start > All Programs > Software AG > Administration > API Portal Cloud Controller n.n
