Starting the server

For any EYEDB operation, a server must run on your computer.

To check if a server is running, use the following command:

% eyedbrc status

If a server is running, this command will print a message like:

EyeDB Server running since Mon Jan 23 13:45:55 2006

  Version       V2.7.2
  Date          Jan 23 2006 13:25:04
  Architecture  linux-x86
  Program Pid   19013
  Running Under francois

  SMD Port      /home/francois/projects/eyedb/install/var/lib/eyedb/pipes/eyedbsmd
  Listening on  localhost:6240
                localhost:/home/francois/projects/eyedb/install/var/lib/eyedb/pipes/eyedbd
  Datafile Directory 

  No Clients connected.

EyeDB server, port 6140, is down from Mon Nov  2 16:04:15 2000

means that no EYEDB server is running, and you must start one.

To start a server, just do this:

% eyedbrc start

Then, you may try again eyedbrc status.

If you get any trouble at this step, refer to the administration manual.
