# Installation Verification

This guide provides a quick and easy way to check the status of different components of the Analysis Server. Based on the status of its components, the procedures outlined in this guide can determine whether the installation of the Analysis Server was successful. This guide is useful for those who need to quickly verify the server's functionality and ensure that everything is running smoothly.

# Verifying Release Notes Access

The web interface is not immediately accessible after installation because it requires the creation of databases. To ensure that web pages rendering is successful, try to access the Release Notes.

To verify:

  1. On a browser, go to http(s)://<AS_hostname>:<port_number>/release_note.html.

    Use http(s)://localhost:<port_number> when accessing in the host machine.

    Where:

    Variable Description
    AS_hostname The machine name where Open iT Analysis Server is hosted.
    port_number The port number provided during the installation and will be used in the web service. The default value is 80.

    Example:

    If installed using the default port, 80:

     http://desktop-oit:80/release_note.html

    Or using HTTPS

     https://desktop-oit:443/release_note.html

    If installed to other port (e.g., 8088).

     http://desktop-oit:8088/release_note.html

    Or using HTTPS

     https://desktop-oit:443/release_note.html
  2. Make sure that the Release Notes is successfully rendered.
