Use a browser to go to the WWW page http://localhost:8080/axis/. You should get the WWW page welcoming you to Apache-Axis. The Axis Installation Guide now suggests that you click on the link:

Validate the local installation's configuration

This will run http://localhost:8080/axis/happyaxis.jsp.` You should examine the text of the resulting WWW page carefully. The Axis Installation Guide says ‘if any of the needed libraries are missing, Axis will not work’.

When I ran happyaxis.jsp, it gave me a WWW page with lots of information. However, towards the middle of the page I got:

The core axis libraries are present. 1 optional axis library is missing.

So that is OK.
