Running chat server in the foreground

After installing chat software successfully. you can run your chat server. It's recommended to run chat server in foreground first :

/usr/glassroom/bin/glassroom.sh

If your server is installed successfully, this message will display :

servletrunner starting with settings:

port = 8100

backlog = 1000

max handlers = 60000

timeout = 180000

servlet dir = /usr/glassroom

document dir = ./examples

servlet propfile = /usr/glassroom/gr.properties

Now press ctrl-c to stop the chat server. Then start chat server in background.

/usr/glassroom/bin/glassroom.sh start

and GlassRoom will start in background. All events and connections are saved to log files :

/usr/glassroom/log/connection.log

/usr/glassroom/log/error.log

more /usr/glassroom/log/connection.log

more /usr/glassroom/log/error.log
