  Go to http://aspire.search.local:50505 for the Aspire console

    Anchor
    restartAspire
    restartAspire
    Restart Aspire (optional)

    After Aspire is running, only changes to base configuration settings or to the Aspire launcher require a restart. The following rules apply:

    • Changes to anything in the ‘bin’ folder, or changes in config/felix.properties or config/settings.xml require an Aspire restart.
    • Anything else shouldn’t require a whole system restart, but may require a reload of specific components.

    This is thanks to the Open Services Gateway initiative (OSGi).

    Info
    titleOSGi
    A modular system and service platform for Java that implements a complete, dynamic component model. Applications or components, in the form of bundles for deployment, can be installed, started, stopped, updated, and uninstalled without a reboot. Management of Java packages/classes is specified in detail. Application lifecycle management is implemented using APIs that allow for remote downloading of management policies. The service registry allows bundles to detect the addition or removal of services, and adapt accordingly.

    This is one of the nicest features of Aspire. You can change the configuration of components and just reload them dynamically.

    Shut Down Aspire

    There are different methods for shutting down Aspire.

    1 - Shut

    down

    Down by URL

    To shutdown your server you can execute the following URL in a browser:

    Code Block
    languagetext
    http://localhost:50505/aspire?cmd=shutdown

    2 - Shut

    down using the debug interface

    Down Using the Debug Interface


    Image Modified

    There is a shutdown link on the debug interface.

    1. Go to http://localhost:50505/aspire.
    2. Click Shutdown.

    3 - Shut

    down

    Down at the

    console

    Console

    If you started Aspire at a console window, you can shut it down by simply typing "shutdown" in the console window.

    This works because the default installation of Aspire starts up a Felix console command prompt, and "shutdown" is a Felix console command for shutting down.

    And finally, if you have Aspire installed as a Windows Service, you can shut it down using the Service "Stop" command.

    LaunchControl-InstallingAspireasaService
    Install Aspire as a Service

    Once you have Aspire running in production, you can install it as a service in a server. This way, any restarts of the server will bring Aspire up as well. When run as a service, Aspire will run in the background, so it doesn’t require a user to be logged into the server all the time. It allows for more secure environments, as the account running Aspire is normally restricted from all non-Aspire related tasks (not even remote login to the server).

    Install Aspire as a Windows service

    See Running Aspire as a Windows Service (Aspire 2) for step-by-step instructions for running Aspire as a Windows Service.

    Install Aspire as a Linux service

    See Running Aspire as a Linux Service (Aspire 2) for instructions.

    Set Aspire Home

    The Aspire Home is the file system directory where the Aspire installation is installed. This directory should contain several sub-directories such as "bin", "bundles", "resources", etc.


    What is Aspire Home

    used for

    Used For?

    Aspire Home is used to locate:

    • Configuration files.
    • XSL and other resources from the "resources" directory.T
    • the "log" directory.

    Aspire Home is used any time a relative path to a file inside the Aspire installation is required. The Aspire Home directory will be pre-pended to all such paths.

    By default, the settings.xml file loads from "config/settings.xml" located in the Aspire Home directory. The settings.xml file holds environmental information and properties about the Aspire installation as a whole. For more information about the settings.xml file, see [[Settings Configuration (Aspire 2)]|here].

    Be aware that there is also a Java System property which can be used to set the location of the settings.xml file as well. It is "com.searchtechnologies.aspire.settings". For example:

    Code Block
    languagetext
    java -Dcom.searchtechnologies.aspire.settings=/test/settings.xml ...


    On Microsoft Windows

    On Windows, there are several ways to set the Aspire Home directory.

    1. Set the environment variable ASPIRE_HOME to the full path of the Aspire Home directory.
    2. Set your working directory to either the Aspire Home directory or the binary directory before executing "bin/aspire.bat"
      • If no environment variable is set, the startup script will try and validate that your working directory (or the parent of your working directory) is a valid Aspire installation. If it is, it automatically sets Aspire Home to that directory.
    3. Edit the "bin/aspire.bat" and change the "java" call so it passes the correct directory to the Java JVM.

    The Java JVM System property which specifies the Aspire Home directory is com.searchtechnologies.aspire.home. This can be set with a command-line argument when executing the "java" command as follows:

    Code Block
    languagetext
    -Dcom.searchtechnologies.aspire.home={home-directory}


    On Linux

    In a bash shell on Linux, Aspire Home may be set by placing commands similar to the following in a script used to start Felix, or the user's profile:

    Code Block
    languagebash
    if [ "${ASPIRE_HOME}" = "" ]
then
   # Set ASPIRE_HOME
   export ASPIRE_HOME=/home/aspire
