Start the Server after a Standalone Installation

Once the installation completes, switch to the nncentral user from the root user. For example:
```
[root@myserver bin]# su nncentral
```
Navigate to the Oracle Communications Session Delivery Manager installation bin directory.
For example:
```
cd /<sdm-install-directory>/AcmePacket/NNC<version>/bin
```
Start SDM with the startnnc.sh script.
```
./startnnc.sh
```
After all services have started, the system is ready for use. Do not attempt to log in until the console has indicated that the web servers are up. If you are upgrading from 7.5M3, the plugin service management system automatically uploads the plugins from the path you identified earlier, and installs them. The console displays the number of services started. For example:
```
Starting Back-End server now
27 of 27 services have started...
Starting Apache servers...

Servers and services started successfully. Web client access ready.
```
Once the system is started, you can begin using SDM by entering the server host name or IP address, and port number in your web browser navigation bar.
For example:
```
https://example.com:8443
```
In the login page, enter the administrator login name and password that you configured in the Configure User Account Passwords section.
