| <h1 class="topictitle1">Starting a server</h1> |
| <div><p>When you are ready to test your projects, you must start a server. |
| In some situations, listed below, the server tools start a server for you |
| automatically. For more information on which test server will start, refer |
| to the list of related topics at the end of this topic.</p> |
| <div class="p"><b>Prerequisites</b> |
| <ul> |
| <li><a href="twcrtins.html#twcrtins">Create a server.</a></li> |
| <li>Add a project to the server.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </div> |
| <div class="skipspace"><p>Once you have started the server you can test the projects that |
| are associated with the server. You can stop and restart the server at any |
| time. The status of the server is displayed in the <span class="uicontrol">Status</span> column |
| of the Servers view.</p> |
| <p>To manually start a server:</p> |
| </div> |
| <ol><li class="skipspace"><span>Switch to the Servers view.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>In the Servers view, right-click the server you want to start.</span></li> |
| <li class="skipspace"><span>Select <span class="uicontrol">Start</span>. </span> The following |
| things happen:<ul><li>If you have selected the <span class="uicontrol">Automatically publish before starting |
| servers</span> check box on the Server preferences page (Window > Preferences |
| > Server), the server tools check to see if your project and files on the |
| server are synchronized prior to starting the server. If they are not, the |
| project and the files are automatically updated on the remote server when |
| it is started.</li> |
| <li>A Console view opens in the workbench. It will take a minute to start |
| the server. If the server fails to start, check for the reason that it failed |
| in the Console.</li> |
| <li>In the <span class="uicontrol">Status</span> column of the Servers view, the |
| status of the server changes to <tt class="sysout">Started</tt>.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |
| <div class="skipspace"><div class="tip"><span class="tiptitle">Tip: </span>The server is automatically started when you right-click |
| on a file and then select <span class="uicontrol">Run > Run on Server</span>.</div> |
| </div> |
