Running the Product

To run WSO2 products, you start the product server at the command line. This page describes how to run the product in the following sections:

Starting the server

To start the server, you run the script wso2server.bat (on Windows) or wso2server.sh (on Linux/Solaris) from the bin folder. Alternatively, you can install and run the server as a Windows service.

To start and stop the server in the background mode of Linux, run wso2server.sh start and wso2server.sh stop commands.

Open a command prompt:

On Windows, choose Start -> Run, type cmd at the prompt, and press Enter.
On Linux/Solaris, establish a SSH connection to the server or log in to the text Linux console.

Execute one of the following commands, where <ELB_HOME> is the directory where you installed the product distribution:

On Windows: <ELB_HOME>/bin/wso2server.bat --run
On Linux/Solaris: sh <ELB_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh

For additional options you can use with these startup commands, type -help after the command, such as: sh <PRODUCT_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh -help
In a cluster where you have configured ELB to listen on default ports, please use: sudo sh <ELB_HOME>/bin/wso2server.sh

The operation log appears. When the product server is running, the log displays the message "WSO2 Carbon started in 'n' seconds."

Stopping the server

To stop the server, press Ctrl+C in the command window.
