Magnolia 5.3 reached end of life on June 30, 2017. This branch is no longer supported, see End-of-life policy.
To start Magnolia:
Go to the Magnolia installation directory. Your path may be different.
cd /home/userAccount/magnolia-5.0.3/apache-tomcat/bin
Start Magnolia.
./magnolia_control.sh start && tail -f ../logs/catalina.out
The first part of the command ./magnolia_control.sh start
launches Magnolia. The second part && tail -f ../logs/catalina.out
displays startup messages written to /apache-tomcat/logs/catalina.out
log file. This makes it easier to troubleshoot startup errors. If startup fails, look for the reason in the report. See Troubleshooting to resolve the issues.
In a successful startup the last line reads:
INFO: Server startup in 12345 ms
Tip! To stop Magnolia type:
./magnolia_control.sh stop
