Selenium standalone server jar file hangs

Question

I'm having an issue running the Selenium standalone server -- it just hangs partway through loading. I've tried several different versions of the standalone server but the same issue arises. From the command line I run...

java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.25.0.jar

And get back...

If the comment does not help, try changing start command to

java -jar lib/selenium-server-standalone-2.25.0.jar -role hub

(It is command for starting Selenium Grid, so it might be wrong for you, but I dont know what are you trying to achieve)

And as mentioned above, after the command is run

1. DO NOT CLOSE COMMAND LINE
2. Open browser and load http://127.0.0.1:4444/

You should see something like this:

You are using grid 2.25.0 Find help on the official selenium wiki : more help here
