Jive HTTPD (Linux)

The Jive HTTPD service is the main access point for HTTP and HTTPS access to the Jive SBS system by web browser.

Start Jive HTTPD

To start the jive-httpd service, execute the following command as root:

[root@biodome:~]$ /etc/init.d/jive-httpd start
Starting jive-httpd:
OK

If the command completes successfully, an OK message will be printed to the console and the exit code of the command will be zero.

Stop Jive HTTPD

To stop the jive-httpd service, execute the following command as root:

[root@biodome:~]$ /etc/init.d/jive-httpd stop
Stopping jive-httpd:

If the command completes successfully, an OK message will be printed to the console and the exit code of the command will be zero.

Monitoring Jive HTTPD

The jive-httpd service supports a "status" command issued to the standard init script located at "/etc/init.d/jive-httpd". An example of checking the serivce status as the root user:

[root@biodome:~]$ /etc/init.d/jive-httpd status
JIVE_HOME set to /usr/local/jive
Running: 2393 (2396, 2397)

In the above example, the parent process of the jive-httpd system daemon is 2393, with child processes of 2396 and 2397.

In addition to the status script, it is possible to check the status of the jive-httpd daemon using standard Unix commands. For example, the following ps command will list all jive-httpd processes running on the host:

[root@biodome:~]$ ps -ef | grep jive-httpd | grep -v grep
root      2393     1  0 14:41 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/jive/httpd/bin/jive-httpd -f /usr/local/jive/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf -k start
jive      2395  2393  0 14:41 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/jive/httpd/bin/jive-httpd -f /usr/local/jive/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf -k start
jive      2396  2393  0 14:41 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/jive/httpd/bin/jive-httpd -f /usr/local/jive/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf -k start
jive      2397  2393  0 14:41 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/jive/httpd/bin/jive-httpd -f /usr/local/jive/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf -k start
jive      2398  2393  0 14:41 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/jive/httpd/bin/jive-httpd -f /usr/local/jive/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf -k start
jive      2399  2393  0 14:41 ?        00:00:00 /usr/local/jive/httpd/bin/jive-httpd -f /usr/local/jive/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf -k start
