  1. fake
  2. fake
  3. 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
#trackbackRdf ($trackbackUtils.getContentIdentifier($page) $page.title $trackbackUtils.getPingUrl($page))
