1.5.  Last step, Run OLAT

You should have now:

  1. a java project olat3 [cvs.olat.org]

  2. a Tomcat Server @ localhost-config entry filed under Servers

  3. Optionally: a java project: olatcore

The previous step - configure OLAT - did create a server.xml file, which you will find under olat3/conf/. As a last step you copy this server.xml file to the Servers project into the Tomcat Server @ localhost-config. You get asked if you want to overwrite, just do so.

  1. copy olat3/conf/server.xml to Servers/Tomcat Server @ localhost-config

  2. in Eclipse Window | Show View | Other browse to Server and choose the Servers

  3. right click on Tomcat Server @ localhost-config and choose Run

  4. the view changes away from the Servers view to the Console view and you see a lot of output from the starting OLAT. It also happens that an "Error" message pops up saying "... Server did not start after 45s".. just click ok. After double clicking on the server entry you can increase the timeout for the startup.

  5. in the console view you should find something like INFO: Server startup in .... ms

  6. Congratulations you are done!

    Point your browser to http://localhost:8080/olat.

    Login to your new OLAT installation by using administrator and olat as default username and password.
