The default domain called 'domain1' is already installed and preconfigured.

To start Payara Server, just go in the directory where Payara Server is located and
type:
On Unix: payara5/bin/asadmin start-domain

After a few seconds, Payara Server will be up and ready to accept requests. The
default 'domain1' domain is configured to listen on port 8080. In your browser, go
