Important Notes When Running the AnswerBook2 Server From the CD

Keep these things in mind when you run the server from the CD:

• The AnswerBook2 server always runs on port 8888 when run from the CD. If you already have an AnswerBook2 server running on your system using the default port (8888), the ab2cd script will display the following message:

  
  
  
  A document server is already running on this system as server:8888.
  
  
  
  
  
  Please shut down the current server before running the ab2cd command.
  
  
  

  Use the following command to shut down the existing server:

  # /usr/lib/ab2/bin/ab2admin -o stop

• Always use ab2cd stop to stop the server running from the CD. Do not use /etc/init.d/ab2mgr stop to stop the CD-based server.

  The ab2cd stop command stops the AnswerBook2 server process and cleans up all files in the /tmp/ab2/ and /tmp/ab2cd_config/ directories. The /etc/init.d/ab2mgr stop command stops all server processes, but does not clean up the files in the /tmp/ab2/ and /tmp/ab2cd_config/ directories.
