Start CollabNet TeamForge

When your install process is finished, you can launch your VMware site and verify that it is working.

1. Update your Apache configuration, keeping the existing settings around in case you need to roll back any changes.
   1. Back up the existing Apache configuration file.
      • On Red Hat 5.4:
        • cd /etc/httpd/conf
        • cp httpd.conf httpd.conf.backup
      • On SuSE 11.x:
        • cd /etc/apache2
        • mv httpd.conf httpd.conf_old
        • cp httpd.conf.cn_new httpd.conf
   2. Review the new httpd.conf.cn_new or apache2 file that was created by the install process. This is an Apache web server configuration file that combines any existing web server configuration with directives specific to CollabNet TeamForge.
   3. When you are satisfied that the new configuration file meets all your networking requirements, rename it so it becomes the active version.
      • On Red Hat 5.4: mv httpd.conf.cn_new httpd.conf
      • On SuSE 11.x:
        • cd /etc/sysconfig/
        • mv apache2 apache2_old
        • cp apache2.cn_new apache2
2. Start the application services.
   • /etc/init.d/httpd start
   • /etc/init.d/postgresql start
   • /etc/init.d/collabnet start
   Tip: If the JBoss server fails to start, kill all Java processes and repeat the startup command.

   • killall java
3. Log into the site and verify that things are working.
   • By default, the URL to log into is the machine name of the virtual machine on which your site is installed. If you provided a value for the DOMAIN variable in the site-options.conf file, then go to that domain to log in.
     Tip: If you don't know the name of the virtual machine, you can use the hostname command to find it.
   • The initial administrator username is admin and the password is admin. You are required to change the password the first time you log in.
   • It's a good idea to stop CollabNet TeamForge and reboot the virtual machine to make sure all services come up at startup.
     • /etc/init.d/collabnet stop all
     • /etc/init.d/collabnet start all
4. Advise your site's users to refresh their browser cache the first time they log into the new site. Use language like this:

   "Welcome to your newly upgraded CollabNet TeamForge 5.4 site. This release comes with significant improvements designed to make your experience more productive and intuitive. To make sure you are able to view all the new features, please start by pressing Ctrl-F5 to refresh your browser."

   Tip: You can use your site's Project News feature to do this. See Post a news item.
