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. 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
  3. If you are using SElinux, make sure your SElinux settings are in order. See Set up SELinux for the recommended settings.
  4. Start the application services.
    • /etc/init.d/collabnet start all
  5. 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.

    Tip: To ensure that Apache starts automatically after a reboot on CentOS, run this command:
    • /sbin/chkconfig --level 2345 httpd on
Important: Do not delete the teamforge-install directory that you created to contain the installer. You may need it for future maintenance or upgrades.
