Starting QEngine

QEngine can be started by any of the following methods:

1. Execute the StartWebTestServer.bat/.sh file in <QEngine_Home>/bin directory. The QEngine will be started in the default server port 7001.

2. From the Start menu, using the 'Start->Programs->ManageEngine QEngine->Start QEngine' option (windows only).

During startup, QEngine automatically detects which ports are free and starts from those ports. By default, the web server starts at port 7001 and the server starts at port 5001. To change the default ports in windows machines, right click the QEngine tray icon and select 'Options' menu. Here you can change the Webserver port and QEngine port numbers.

To change the mysql port, edit the value for the url variable in <QEngine_Home>/conf/database_params.conf file as follows:

url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:6033/imD as url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:1099/imD
