Server Configuration Windows

Configure Server

Before you configure the C3Fire server do the Test C3Fire server so that you know that the first installation step did work.

The configuration you need to do is only to set the IP number that your server computer have.

The Server configuration is defined in <C3FIRE-Server>\C3FireServerConfig.xml

Example : C:\C3LearningLabs\C3Fire\Server\C3FireServerConfig.xml

 <Connection
  IPNr = "127.0.0.1"
  Port = "8382" 
  ... />

Example set the IP number to IPNr = "192.168.1.2"

Server on internet (WAN)

If the C3Fire server should be accessed from internet (WAN), you need configure the Internet router to
port-forward, port 8382 and port 8380 to the C3Fire Server.

Find the server computer's IP number

Start the command prompt by writing command prompt in the windows search tool.



In the command promp start the program ipconfig. It will give you the server computer ip numper in the field IPv4 Address.



Example, 192.168.1.1

Test C3Fire Server

The C3Fire server can be started with the program C3FireServer-Start-Windows.exe or script file C3FireServer-Start-Windows.bat in the server folder.

Example : C:\C3LearningLabs\C3Fire\Server\C3FireServer-Start-Windows.exe.
Example : C:\C3LearningLabs\C3Fire\Server\C3FireServer-Start-Windows.bat.

The C3Fire server can also be stared with the shortcut "C3Fire Server" on your desktop.



After some startup processes the C3Fire server should write 'C3Fire Server Running'.





When the server start if write a process listing on what is happening during the start.
In this listing the server should write the IP number and the Port number used by the server.
Early in the process it will write the IP number configuration for the servar and the http server.
Later in the process it will write the IP number when it is created.

Example:

If the server did start you should test the web server.

The browser should show the following page.

If the Jetty web server does not start go to Troubleshooting Jetty Server.

Start C3Fire client on the server computer. This is done by starting the program

...\C3LearningLabs\C3Fire\Client\Application\C3FireClient-Start-Windows.exe

or script file

...\C3LearningLabs\C3Fire\Client\Application\C3FireClient-Start-Windows.bat

Example : C:\C3LearningLabs\C3Fire\Client\Application\C3FireClient-Start-Windows.exe.
