Starting FCService

FCService is the Web server component of FlashConnect. FCService must be installed on the same physical computer as the Web server, but can be located on a different machine than the database.

1. Go to the /usr/bin directory and type ./FCService to start FCService.
2. Verify that the service has started by typing:

   Fox AIX:

   ps -ef

   For Linux:

   ps -eaux

   USER PID  %CPU %MEM VSZ  RSS TTY STAT START TIME COMMAND
   root 1065  0.1 0.6  1568 772 ?   S    10:40 0:00 ./FCService
   root 1066  0.0 0.6  1568 776 ?   S    10:40 0:00 ./FCService
   root 1067  0.0 0.6  1568 772 ?   S    10:40 0:00 ./FCService
   root 1068  0.0 0.6  1568 776 ?   S    10:40 0:00 ./FCService

   Note: Add the location of the JRE to the PATH before executing the ./fcsocketserver command.
3. Start the FlashConnect Socket Server.

   • In GUI mode, type ./fcsocketserver start 6886 gui from the /usr/bin directory.

     [root@ptrh bin]# Starting FCSocketServer
     [1]+ Done ./fcsocketserver start 6886 gui

     Tip: Always use GUI mode in your first installation, which allows you to monitor errors in the FlashConnect Socket Server Manager.

   • In terminal mode, type ./fcsocketserver start 6886 from the /usr/bin directory.

     Starting FCSocketServer
     [root@ptrh bin]# On the single server mode:
     FCSocketServer started on port [6886]

   The FlashConnect Socket Server Manager displays and allows you to monitor activities in FlashConnect.
