Servers on IDA

• Platforms supported:
  Rails, Tomcat and Django on typologix.ida.liu.se
• What do you do?:
  Start your servers as usual with one exception: specifying the port number. For instance rails server -p 4711 -d, where -d is not completely necessary but makes the server run in the background.
• How long will the server run:
  The server process will be killed after 48 hours. It must be restarted and perhaps with a new port number.
• How do I get a port number that is avaliable:
  You need a port number not currently in use and you can get that using the following command: netstat --listen -n.
• Will i have to reinstall my server every time?:
  Only your running process is killed and need to be restarted. You installations of e.g. gems should remain in your home catalogue installation.
• I want to install gems or use hibernate with tomcat. Will that work?:
  Yes, gems or things like hibernate will be installed in your home catalogue and work like on your own machine.
