Step 5: Start the Pentaho Server

Perform the following steps to start the Pentaho Server.

1. If you installed your own web application server, run the startup script for the server by launching the applicable batch file for your server type.

   • Tomcat: Launch the startup.bat file, located in the Tomcat bin directory.

   • JBoss: Launch the standalone.bat file, located in the JBoss bin directory.

2. From a workstation, open a web browser and enter this URL: http://localhost:8080/pentaho to access the Pentaho User Console (PUC).

   Note: If your server has a different hostname or port, replace localhost and 8080 with your specific values.
