Starting the Administrative WebStation

Starting the Servlet Runner

Before you can run either the Administrative WebStation or the metering server, you must start the servlet runner.

If you are using a servlet runner other than the one provided with Reflection, follow the steps to start it included in the servlet runner documentation. If you are using the Tomcat servlet runner (installed either by the automated installer or tomcat.zip), follow these steps:

• On Windows platforms:
  
  On computers running Windows NT and above, if you used the automatic installation process you can choose to install the servlet runner as an NT service, in which case the servlet runner starts automatically. You can start or stop the service by going to Windows Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services, and selecting Reflection Server.
  
  If the servlet runner has not been installed as an NT service, go to Programs > Attachmate Reflection Administrator > Start Servlet Runner. (To close the servlet runner, click Stop Servlet Runner.)
  
  If you installed using archive files, run the startup.bat file in the \ReflectionServer\jakarta-tomcat-[version number]\bin\ folder. (To close the servlet runner, run shutdown.bat in the same folder.)
  
  
• On UNIX or Linux platforms:
  
  Run the startup.sh file in the [installation path]/jakarta-tomcat-[version number]/bin/ directory. The command is: ./startup.sh (To close the servlet runner, run shutdown.sh in the same folder.)
  
  Note: Be sure that necessary permissions have been set for the .sh files. Permissions should be set to allow full access for owner, and read and execute permissions for group and other. Use the following command: chmod 755 *.sh
