Starting, Restarting and Stopping your ocelot server

The URL of your server

• After you have set up Tomcat and have a student host, you will also be able to access your Apache server through your student host as http://studentXX.cgs4854.cs.fiu.edu:99999, replacing 99999 with your port number, and XX with your student host number.

Starting the server

• Start the server, using your server directory as the location of the configuration files
  /home/ocelot/aul-user-web/bin/httpd -d ~your-user-name/cgs4854/serverRoot

Restarting the server

• Change to the server root directory
  cd  ~/cgs4854/serverRoot
• Send a hang-up signal to the server. The ` characters below are not the single quote ' character, they are the accent grave character, which is usually on the same key as the tilda ~.
  kill  -HUP  `cat  logs/httpd.pid`
• Alternatively, you can type this command from any directory
  kill  -HUP  `cat  ~/cgs4854/serverRoot/logs/httpd.pid`

Stopping the server

• Change to the server root directory
  cd  ~/cgs4854/serverRoot
• Send a terminate signal to the server. This will also terminate all the spare servers.
  kill  -TERM  `cat  logs/httpd.pid`
• Alternatively, you can type this command from any directory
  kill  -TERM  `cat  ~/cgs4854/serverRoot/logs/httpd.pid`

Obtaining the process ID (pid) of your server

• Issue the command ps wx to see a list of your server and spare servers
• The main server is the httpd process that has Ss in the STAT column of the outout.
• Read the pid number for the server. You can use this number directly to HUP and KILL your server. For example, if the pid was 11223, then these commands would work
  kill -TERM 11223
kill -HUP  11223
