Starting the Apache Tomcat server

Apache Tomcat is installed in the directory JazzInstallDir/server/tomcat. The Web application (jazz.war) is installed in the Apache Tomcat directory webapps. In a command window, set your current directory to JazzInstallDir/server. The server startup and shutdown scripts are located in this directory.

Before you begin

Before you start the server, review the following requirements:

Starting the server on Windows

Run the startup file to start the Apache Tomcat server on Windows®.

About this task

To start the server:

Procedure

  1. From the JazzInstallDir/server directory, run the following command:
    server.startup.bat
    Note: A separate Apache Tomcat console window opens. Do not close this window or the server will stop working. Also, several informational messages launch, including a message about the Apache Tomcat Native Library. These informational messages do not affect the Jazz Team Server functionality.
  2. To stop the server, from the JazzInstallDir/server directory, run the following command:
    server.shutdown.bat

What to do next

These tasks run the start and stop scripts directly from the directory JazzInstallDir/server. Also, you can run the commands from the Jazz Team Server Windows start menu.

After the server is started, proceed to Testing and configuring the server.

Starting the server on Linux

Run the startup file to start server on Linux®.

About this task

To start the server:

Procedure

  1. From the JazzInstallDir/server directory:
    • If you are logged in as the root user, run the following command:
      ./server.startup
    • If your user ID has administrator access, run the following command:
      sudo ./server.startup
    A separate Apache Tomcat console window is not visible. You can check the server startup progress by viewing the log file at JazzInstallDir/server/tomcat/logs/catalina.out.
  2. To stop the server, from the JazzInstallDir/server directory:
    • If you are logged in as the root user, run the following command:
      ./server.shutdown
    • If your user ID has administrator access, run the following command:
      sudo ./server.shutdown

    This example runs the start and stop scripts directly from the directory JazzInstallDir/server. If you installed Jazz Team Server by using IBM Installation Manager, you can also run the commands from the Start menu in the Jazz Team Server application.

What to do next

After the server is started, proceed to Testing and configuring the server.

Alternatively, return to the Installation roadmaps to review the next steps in the installation.
