Start the application server

To start the application server, run the following command using your application server home directory, which should be set via the JBOSS_HOME environment variable:

  • in Unix: ${JBOSS_HOME}/bin/standalone.sh

  • in Windows: %JBOSS_HOME%/bin/standalone.bat

In productive environments the startup is typically desired to be automated with the process being run in the background, which can be achieved with “systemd”, for example, in Linux environments.

To check if the server is running, you can try to open the administration console in an Internet browser with the host name or address and the configured port (specified by parameter “portManagementHttps”). By default this is something like:

https://yourImageMasterHost:10048/

To be able to access the administration console via a browser, also consider that this must be enabled in the configuration based on IPs:

The administration console home page is shown after logging in. If you have not created a user (Optional: Create an administration user), just a welcome message is displayed.

Administration console home page and welcome message examples

In the example below, the home page for WildFly is shown for user “admin”:

In the example below, the welcome message for JBoss is shown in a case where no admin user has yet been created:
