Running Corona Server 
 
 

Running Corona Server

To run only the Corona server for testing purpose, (such as for running java application which connects to the Corona server: the Corona server is a group-communication server that supports shared object) 
  • Type "testCorona Corona_port_number".

  • You'll be asked the following two questions. 
    1. At the following question, type "y" if you want to log messages of chat. Type "n", otherwise. 
    2.   Do you want to log chat ? [y/n]
    3. When you run the Corona server at a specific port for the first time, the script will collect configuration information from a user so that next time the user restarts the Corona at the same port, the collected configuration information is used. Your configuration is saved in umich/cbe/admin/CBE-Corona_port_number.config (e.g. CBE-9001.config) file. You can modify the configuration by editing the file. The logs of the Corona server and the Room manager will be created in umich/cbe/logs/ServerLog directory in the package. 

Killing Corona Server

To kill Corona server, 
  • Type "killCBEServers port_number"

  • (port_number is the Corona_port_number you provide when you run testCorona.) If you don't provide the port_number argument, the killCBEServers will print the port numbers which are used by current CBE servers. You can also use the "killCorona Corona_port_number" to kill the Corona server. 
     

Running a Distview Client 

To run a Distview client like Chat, go to umich/cbe/distview/experiments/Chat directory which contains Chat.html. Edit the Chat.html so that ServerPortNumber and ServerHostName are set correctly.  ServerPortNumber and ServerHostName should be set to Corona server's port and machine address respectively.
Then , type "appletviewer Chat.html" to run the Chat application.
