Go to the directory where you have installed Abyss Web Server and execute: ./abyssws.

Abyss Web Server creates automatically a configuration file where it stores the web server's parameters.

Note: Abyss Web Server must have the permission to create and to write the configuration file abyss.conf in the directory where abyssws file is located (or the configuration file specified by the -c switch on the command line; see the "Command Line Parameters" appendix for more information.)

Open the browser and go to the local console URL. Abyss Web Server prints this location on the terminal where it is running.

Note: Refer to the "Troubleshooting Guide" appendix to solve the most common problems that can occur with Abyss Web Server startup.

Choose a login and a password to fill with the form displayed in the browser and press OK.

The browser asks you for your credentials. Enter the login and the password you have already chosen and validate.

At this point, Abyss Web Server is ready to serve. To test it, point the browser to the web server URL, which is printed on the server's terminal. You should see the Welcome to Abyss Web Server page.
