    Test your Installation

    After you have installed the JBoss Application Server, it is wise to perform a simple startup test to validate that there are no major problems with your Java VM/operating system combination. To test your installation, open the JBOSS_DIST/jboss-<release>/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 similar to the following (accounting for installation directory differences) and contain no error or exception messages:

    Now open http://localhost:8080 in your web browser. (Make sure you don't have anything else already on your machine using that port).[1] The contents of your page should look similar to the following:

    You are now ready to use the JBoss Application Server.
