This distribution requires an Internet connection the first time that you run it. About 200 MB will be downloaded the first time. This method of launching FlexDeploy will also download and install PostgreSQL and setup the database connection to it. If that isn't what you want to do, look at a different install guide instead. |
Requirements
- Windows Operating System
- 8GB of RAM
- 1 CPU
- At least 20GB of available space, may need additional space based on purge criteria and usage.
- 64 bit Java 8 JDK which can be downloaded from http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jdk8-downloads-2133151.html. (Open JDK 8 is also fine)
- Optional - consider Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) unlimited strength policy files to avoid SSH issues when using strong ciphers.
5 steps to running FlexDeploy with embedded database

- http://localhost:8000/flexdeploy
- Update hostname in URL to indicate host where FlexDeploy is installed.
- You will need to complete the Initial Registration process, where you will create admin user for login.
If FlexDeploy doesn't appear after a few minutes, here are some troubleshooting tips:
- Logs are located at <FlexDeploy Home>/apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/logs
- Usually opening flexdeploy.0.log is the best way to find the problem. The most common problem is that a port that Tomcat wants to use is already in use.
- By default, the Tomcat server is configured to run on port 8000. If this port is in use, change to some other unused port. Search for <Connector port="8000" protocol="HTTP/1.1" if you want to change it.
- Edit the file at <FlexDeploy Home>/apache-tomcat-flexdeploy/conf/server.xml
- There are other ports referenced in the server.xml file as well. If the logs contain a port in use error, you can find the open ports on your machine and then search this file for ports that you find are in use and change them.
- If the logs folder doesn't have any useful information, and you aren't sure what else to try, use a command window and go to the bin folder. Then execute the command "catalina.bat run" A better error message should be shown.
