Chapter 2. Installation

Throughout this chapter we will refer to the location of JBOSS_HOME as <installation-dir>/jboss-as

The Administration Console is distributed as part of the default, all, web and production server configurations.

Start the server by opening a command prompt at $JBOSS_HOME/bin and execute the command:

On Unix systems:

./run.sh

On Windows systems:

run.bat

The above command starts the default configuration. If you prefer to run with an alternate configuration, repeat the above command passing in your configuration using the -c option. Below is the syntax for starting the server with the all configuration, for example:

On Unix systems:

./run.sh -c all

On Windows Systems:

run.bat -c all

In addition to the configurations mentioned above, it is expected that the Administration Console will work with any custom configuration that supports the installation of Seam applications, however that support is not guaranteed. To use the Console with a different configuration (for instance, the test configuration), you can copy the admin-console.war directory from the default server configuration as shown below (for Unix systems):

cd $JBOSS_HOME/server/default/deploy
cp -pr admin-console.war $JBOSS_HOME/server/test/deploy
