Step 3: Run the server

To start the server, extract binary tar to /<source_root>/ and follow steps given below

export SOURCE_ROOT=/<source_root>/

• Standalone Mode

sh $SOURCE_ROOT/<wildfly-<version>_binary_folder>/bin/standalone.sh -b 0.0.0.0 -bmanagement 0.0.0.0

• Domain Mode

sh $SOURCE_ROOT/<wildfly-<version>_binary_folder>/bin/domain.sh -b 0.0.0.0 -bmanagement 0.0.0.0

Note: If the server fails to start on with the error WFLYCTL0113: '' is an invalid value for parameter instance-id. Values must have a minimum length of 1 characters, make sure the hostname command is installed and the environment variable is set via export HOSTNAME=`hostname`
