Test OpenKM installation

Once you have configured OpenKM and Tomcat you can start them. You can run Tomcat from the command line from the $TOMCAT_HOME folder:

$ ./bin/catalina.sh start

This command will launch Tomcat and start the OpenKM application. By default Tomcat only listens on localhost, so OpenKM will only be accessible from http://localhost:8080/OpenKM. You will see a login screen like this:

You can log into OpenKM with okmAdmin user (default password is admin). If you want OpenKM to be accessible from others computers in your network, try modify $TOMCAT_HOME/conf/server.xml

<Connector address="0.0.0.0" connectionTimeout="20000" port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" redirectPort="8443"/>

$ ./bin/catalina.sh start

Tomcat will bind to all network interfaces of the computer. Now OpenKM can be accessed from another computer using http://your-domain.com:8080/OpenKM.

Don't close the terminal or Tomcat will shutdown and OpenKM application will stop.

If you have configured Tomcat service in your Debian / Ubuntu box, you can launch it this way:

$ /etc/init.d/tomcat start

You can watch the server log to see OpenKM messages.

$ tail -f $TOMCAT_HOME/logs/catalina.log
