Starting the Pentaho Server

After you have completed the JBoss tasks, you are ready to start the Pentaho Server.

Complete the JBoss tasks before attempting to start the Pentaho Server using this procedure. If you want to add the optional JBoss logging, do that first and then run the appropriate script for starting your server.

1. Define the DI_HOME environment variable.

   The default path for Windows and Linux is shown below:

   • Windows: PENTAHO_INSTALLATION_FOLDER\pentaho-server\pentaho-solutions\system\kettle

   • Linux: PENTAHO_INSTALLATION_FOLDER/pentaho-server/pentaho-solutions/system/kettle

2. Run the startup script for your web application server by launching one of these files in the JBoss bin directory:

   • Windows JBoss: Launch the standalone.bat file.

   • Linux JBoss: Launch the standalone.sh file.

3. Open a web browser and enter this URL: http://localhost:8080/pentaho

   The User Console Log On window appears.

   Note: You will be prompted to install a license. Information about license installation can be found in the Administer Pentaho Data Integration and Analytics document,
