Starting the Tomcat Server
Once the installation has finished, it is time to start the application. You can either start the server from the command line, or as a Linux service.
Starting the Server from the Command Line
- Navigate to the target installation directory, go to
/runtime/host/bin
, and run./tribefire-console-start.sh
.
Running this script starts ADx or Conversion Tomcat. You should see a Tomcat started message - service should be available shortly (less than a minute) after, when all components are deployed.
To stop the service, run ./tribefire-console-stop.sh
.
If you're using Windows, run the scripts with
.bat
extension.
Starting the Server as a Linux Service
After installation, you can find a Linux script file in the runtime/host/bin/
folder: tribefire-service.sh
. It can be used to install the Tomcat server as a Linux service. At the moment we support the following Init systems: sysvinit and Upstart.
-
Run
sudo ./tribefire-service.sh install
as a root user. Provide the password when prompted.This will create a symbolic link to this script in
/etc/init.d
and register it as a service:sudo ./tribefire-service.sh install Assigning execution rights to start/stop script Creating a reference to the start/stop script in /etc/init.d Registering conversion as a service Registering conversion using /usr/sbin/update-rc.d Done with registering service conversion
To uninstall the service, simply run
sudo ./tribefire-service.sh uninstall
. -
Once it is installed, the service can be used to start and stop the server:
- To start, run
/etc/init.d/service_name start
- To stop, run
/etc/init.d/service_name stop
Where
service_name
has to be replaced with the name provided inprojectDescriptor
property inside the configuration file (defaults areconversion
for the conversion package andagile-documents-platform
for the ADx package). - To start, run
Note that there are other ways to start Tomcat, e.g. also as a background service. For more information refer to Tomcat documentation.
