Once the EASA software has been installed, we need to start the EASA Server. Eventually we may need to stop the EASA Server as well.

We have two different ways of running an EASA Server: as a system 'service' or as a user 'application'.

Each has different Start and Stop methods.

By default EASA Server will be installed as a service and will start automatically when Windows starts up.

The EASA Server can be started or stopped using the 'Windows Services' tool.

• Type 'services' into the search box next to the start menu icon to bring up the Services window.

• Find the EASA TomcatX service (where X denotes Tomcat version).

• The 'Description' should start with EASA Server ….

• Confirm its 'Status' column is 'Started'.

• If the 'Status' column is blank, then start the service by selecting the EASA Server row and clicking on the Start Service button in the tool bar above (or right-click→start).

Examine the Start→All Programs→EASA menu. At installation time two shortcuts were added:

• Start EASA Server
• Stop EASA Server

If an EASA Server is running as an application, you should see a Command Prompt window entitled ‘EASA Server’.

If no EASA Server is running, then click on the Start EASA Server shortcut to start one.

• Type 'services' into the search box next to the start menu icon to bring up the Services window.
  • Select the EASA Server service and click on the Stop button (or right-click→stop).

• Click on the shortcut:
  • Start Menu→Stop EASA Server

• Log in to the Linux computer as root.
  • Change to the directory: <EASAROOT>/tomcat/bin
    • Run:

 ./easa.sh start

If the EASA Server has been setup to run as a service, it should start automatically.

If it has been stopped, start it from a shell window by typing:

 /sbin/service easa start

• Change to the directory: <EASAROOT>/tomcat/bin
  • Run:

 ./easa.sh stop

• Stop EASA Server from a shell window by typing:

 /sbin/service easa stop
