So, I tried accessing http://127.0.0.1:8080/admin-console instead, as suggested in this SO answer. But all I am getting is "The requested resource (/admin-console) is not available":

How do I get either the web console or the admin-console to work?

To workaround this, add your server's URL to the Exception Site List. Note: you may need to Run as administrator the Configure Java applet.

Once you save the revised exception site list, web-console's JBoss Management Console will be revealed:
