Testing Your Installation

Before you change any sever settings, it is a good idea to test the installation. Do this by starting the server and running a few test scripts as described below.

Starting the Server

If you installed the server so that it is automatically started when you boot your computer, just reboot. Otherwise, click on Start, point to Programs, DecisionScript 4.0, and click DecisionScript Server. When the server starts, you will see a splash screen for a few seconds and then the DecisionScript Server icon will appear in the system tray on your task bar.

If you need to open the server to monitor traffic or change server settings, just double click on the icon or right click to bring up a menu of options.

Note: The server window does not need to be open for the server to run properly. As long as you see the tray icon, the server is running.

Running the Test Scripts

The installation program sets up a small number of example scripts that will be fully functional as soon as you complete the installation. To view these examples, open a Web browser on your server computer and then type the URL

http://127.0.0.1/

http://127.0.0.1:port/

if you installed the server on a port other than 80.

You should see a page listing several example scripts that you can run.
