or
https://server/fp/login

https://rfpserver:8080/fp/login
If you are using Websphere application server and face problems while opening Focal Point, restart the Websphere application server instance. Here is an example of how to stop and start the application server instance:
From the command prompt, go to:
C:\Program Files (x86)\IBM\WebSphere\AppServer\profiles\AppSrv01\bin
To stop the server instance in which Focal Point is deployed to server1, run:
stopServer.bat server1
To start the server instance, run:
startServer.bat server1
