Start your new CollabNet TeamForge site

Launch CollabNet TeamForge along with all the associated services.

  1. Set up the initial, or "bootstrap," data.
    • ./bootstrap-data.sh
  2. Start CollabNet TeamForge.
    • On Red Hat or CentOS:
      • /etc/init.d/httpd start (On CentOS, you may need to start Apache manually: /sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 httpd on)
      • /etc/init.d/postgresql start
      • /etc/init.d/collabnet start
    • On SuSE:
      • /etc/init.d/apache2 start
      • /etc/init.d/postgresql start
      • /etc/init.d/collabnet start
  3. Install a project template. TeamForge comes with a sample project template that showcases some of the platform's most interesting features. Site administrators and project managers can use this template to jump-start projects without a lot of manual setup steps.
    Note: This procedure is recommended, but not required.
    • cd /opt/collabnet/teamforge-installer/5.4.0.0
    • ./install-project-templates.py -V

    Use a site administrator user name and password. For a new site, these are admin and admin.

    Tip: On some servers, it may take a few seconds for the SOAP server to be ready after installation. If install-project-templates.py returns an error, try waiting briefly and then running it again.
  4. Log into the site and verify that things are working.
    • By default, the URL to log into is the machine name of the server 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.
    • 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 machine to make sure all services come up at startup.
Your CollabNet TeamForge site is now up and running.
Important: Do not delete the teamforge-install directory that you created to contain the installer. You may need it for future maintenance or upgrades.
