Chapter 9. Test your Installation
After you have installed the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform, it is wise to perform a simple startup test to validate that there are no major problems with your Java VM/operating system combination. Make sure you have set the
JBOSS_HOME envirnoment variables as explained in
Post_Installation_Configuration. To test your installation, move to
JBOSS_DIST/jboss-as/bin directory and execute the
run.bat (for Windows) or
run.sh (for Linux) script, as appropriate for your operating system. Your output should look like the following (accounting for installation directory differences) and contain no error or exception messages:
[vrenish@vinux bin]$ ./run.sh

Note
Note that there is no "Server Started" message shown at the console when the server is started using the production profile, which is the default profile used when no other is specified. This message may be observed in the server.log file located in the server/production/log subdirectory.
Now open
https://localhost:8080 in your web browser. (Make sure you dont have anything else already on your machine using that port).
