Post-Installation Instructions for Web Server
The yum installation of vFabric Web Server does not automatically create a Web Server instance, so you must manually create
one before you can start using it to serve up your Web pages.
Procedure
1. Log in to the RHEL VM on which you installed vFabric Web Server as the root user and open a terminal window.
2. Change to the /opt/vmware/vfabric-web-server directory:
prompt# cd /opt/vmware/vfabric-web-server
3. Run the newserver.pl command to create the new instance; the command prompts you for information about the new
server.
prompt# ./newserver.pl --server=myserver
In the preceding example, the new instance is called myserver and its server directory is /opt/vmware/vfabric-
web-server/myserver.
4. Enter values for the newserver prompts as the command requests information about your new instance. You can use the
default values for many of the prompts, or even leave them blank.
5. Change to the instance-name/bin server directory, where instance-name refers to the name of the instance:
prompt# cd myserver/bin
6. Start the instance using the httpdctl command:
prompt# ./httpdctl start
You should see a message as follows:
Starting Apache:
Server started OK
7. Confirm that the vFabric Web Server instance started by navigating to the http://host:80 URL in your browser,
where host refers to the name or IP address of the host computer (you can use localhost if your browser is on the same
computer).
If the instance started correctly, you should see its Welcome page.

Post-Installation Instructions for SQLFire
1. If you have not already done so, download and install a JDK or JRE on the RHEL VM on which you installed SQLFire.
2. On the RHEL VM, start a terminal either as the root user or as an unprivileged user using sudo.
