Home > Documentation > Administration > Running Geronimo > Running Multiple Instances of Geronimo |
This article is organized as follows:
It is possible to run multiple instances of geronimo on the same machine. Currently multiple instances of geronimo share the following directories in <geronimo_home>
, the directory where you installed Geronimo.
Each instance gets its own copy of the following at <geronimo_home>/<instance_name>
bin, lib and schema are read-only, and thus may be shared between instances. The repository is shared, i.e. an application deployed in one instance will show up in the list of deployed modules, but not running, in all the other instances!
Start with a fresh image of geronimo. Do not use an image that has been used to run the default instance.
To create an instance named foo
do the follwing. All your instance data will be put in <geronimo_home>/foo
. All the directories named below are relative to <geronimo_home>
.
mkdir foo
foo/var/config/config.substitutions.properties
and change the portOffset. Try using 10, 20, 30.. etc for various instances.We will be using var
as a template.
servers
copy var
to servers/geronimoi
and change the portOffset for each instance.org.apache.geronimo.server.name
system property to the instance name before you start the server. Use the syntax -Dorg.apache.geronimo.server.name=foo
for an instance named foo
located at <geronimo_home>/foo
. Add this to your GERONIMO_OPTS
environment variable
set GERONIMO_OPTS=-Dorg.apache.geronimo.server.name=foo
The Geronimo Administration Console can also be used for all these operations. Connect to an instance by using the right HTTP port (default 8080)
The default instance is nameless, i.e. it is run from <geronimo_home>/var
. It can be deleted!
Coming Soon!
The default instance named 'geronimo' will be created and run using the following. It will use <geronimo_home>/geronimo
for instance data.
