Validate the installation without a Web server

To validate the installation of the Genero Application Server without involving a Web server, launch the stand-alone Genero Application Server and run a Genero Desktop Client demo application.

1. Set the GAS environment by executing the script $FGLASDIR/envas.
2. Launch the GAS Standalone (httpdispatch). For more information on starting the GAS standalone, and the various command options available, see Startup and Command Options.
3. Within the GDC, create a shortcut pointing to the demo application. To create the shortcut, you must start the GDC in administrative mode using the --admin or -a option. Refer to the Genero Desktop Client User Guide for more information on creating shortcuts.
   1. On the first page of the New Shortcut wizard, select the HTTP, through a web server option.
   2. On the second page of the New Shortcut wizard - the HTTP connection information page - provide the application URL (http://<myApplicationServer>:6394/wa/r/gdc-demo) and specify the HTTP Proxy mode as Direct connection. On most systems, you can replace the <myApplicationServer> with localhost for this test: http://localhost:6394/wa/r/gdc-demo.
   3. For the remaining pages of the Shortcut Wizard, you can accept the defaults and click Finish. The shortcut is added to the GDC.
4. To run the application, select the shortcut and click Start!.
