Application Administrative Interface
The admin interface lets you manage users of a specific application. All
Admin users will have a special "button" [admin] in their top menu.
The administration interface is also found at URL http://host:port/exec/admin
Shouldn't that be [setup] and http://host:port/admin/configure?
Server Wide Administrative Interface
The server wide administration lets you add new applications or remove them from the server. In addition to that you can shutdown the server from that web frontend.
The administration interface is found at URL http://host:8668/install
Commandline Administrative Commands
Administrative commands may be initiated using run.sh:
./run.sh admin command arguments
| command | arguments | what happens |
|---|
| shutdown | | shuts the whole server down by stopping all applications and exiting the java virtual machine |
| stop | AppName | stops the application with name AppName |
| start | AppName | starts the application with name AppName |
| reload | AppName | stops and restarts the application with name AppName |
Before updating any servlet code of an application it should be stopped. Then you can safely replace files in
AppName/app/WEB-INF and restart the application.
