Installation

Starting the service

Once FOP2 is installed and AMI credentials configured you can start the service. In RPM based systems you do it with the command:

#> /etc/rc.d/init.d/fop2 start

or better yet (but not always available):

#> service fop2 start

In Debian or Ubuntu the correct command is:

#> /etc/init.d/fop2 start

If you installed from tarball and did not install an init script, you can also start fop2 by adding a line like the following at the end of /etc/rc.local:

/usr/local/fop2/fop2_server -d

 

Command line usage:

The service daemon can be started also by hand at the linux console. You can try by changing to fop2_server directory and running it from there, eg:

#> cd /usr/local/fop2
#> ./fop2_server

The options and parameters for the daemon are the following:
