Testing with Curl

Open terminal/command prompt and type in the following curl command to test

	curl -u admin http://10.244.0.2

when prompted for a password, type in admin without the quotes.

Testing with Browser

Visit http://10.244.0.2/ on your browser and you should see the nginx homescreen with a popup to authenticate:

Default username and password is admin

After entering this, you should see the default nginx homepage.

Additional Notes

1. Locate your vm ip

• In the event that this release was not deployed on a fresh virtualbox vm, type the following command to view the ip address for the deployment.

bosh -e {{env_alias}} -d nginx-deployment vms

Now open your browser at that ip to test.

Note Replace {{env_alias}} with the alias name of your bosh director.
