Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.2 Quick Start Guide

Starting the Application Server

You start the server by starting the domain. A domain provides authentication and administration for the server instance that belongs to it. Starting the domain starts the server instance in the domain. A default domain called domain1 is created when you install Application Server.

Note –

A default domain does not get created in certain distributions (such as the Application Server bundled with Solaris 10 distributions). If a default domain has not been created, use the create-domain command to create an administrative domain. See create-domain(1).

To start the server, follow the steps below. Solaris and Linux steps are in the first column and Windows steps are in the second column:

Solaris and Linux 

Windows 

  1. Add the install-dir/bin/ directory to the PATH environment variable.

  2. Start the server by entering this command from the install-dir: asadmin start-domain domain1.

From the Start menu, choose Programs ⇒ Sun Microsystems ⇒ Application Server PE⇒ Start Default Server.
