Running the Server

Part of the installation process is the selection of Tigase base directory. This is where you can find all important server files. The installer will create some configurable shortcuts in the Start Menu. You can navigate to the menu and use it to start the server. To run the server manually:

  • On a Linux system you may start the server using the tigase file found in the scripts sub-directory of Tigase server base directory. You will need to select the type of linux you have, debian, gentoo, mandirva, or redhat, and use the script located in the init.d folder. In the root server directory type the following command:
./scripts/{OS}/init.d/tigase start etc/tigase.conf

Of course if you have a custom config file then change last command appropriately.

  • On a Windows platform you can use a bat file to run the server. There is a run.bat file in the Tigase root directory. Just double click it in Explorer or run it from command line to start the server. A window with server log output will pop-up.
