title: Selenium server "Not Found"
body: <p>I am using the <a href="http://docs.seleniumhq.org/download/" rel="nofollow">latest</a> Selenium Standalone Server (3.0.0-beta2) on a Windows machine (Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard)
  Java is installed (java version "1.8.0_101").</p>
  
  <p>I am executing the JAR with the following command:</p>
  
  <pre><code>java -jar selenium-server-standalone-3.0.0-beta1.jar -port 8888
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Now when I request <a href="http://localhost:8888" rel="nofollow">http://localhost:8888</a> I just get a HTTP 404 error by Jetty:</p>
  
  <pre><code>HTTP ERROR: 404
  
  Problem accessing /. Reason:
  
      Not Found
  Powered by Jetty://
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The port 8888 is free and is not used by any other program.</p>
  
  <p>This is the console output when I start the server:</p>
