Running Civilizer in a more customized way

Currently, you can start Civilizer with:

• a different port number
• and a different Private Home Directory (PHD) path
• and different options specified in each "app-options.properties" file under each Private Home.

✔️ Using a command prompt

• run-civilizer.bat ( Windows Users )
• run-civilizer.sh ( Other OS Users )
• Options
  • -help, -h, -? : Show help message
  • -port number : Specify port number
  • -home path : Specify Private Home Directory
  • -cleanStart : Start the app with a clean empty DB (Since version 0.9.0.RC5)
  • ⚠️ Your previous data will be all gone. Make a backup first!
  • These are all optional parameters
• Example:
• run-civilizer.sh -port 12345 -home "/Users/my-user-name/cvz-home"
• This will start Civilizer with the port number 12345 and PHD of "/Users/my-user-name/cvz-home"
• That means you need to access Civilizer at the URL http://localhost:12345/civilizer/app/home

✔️ Using Jetty Runner

• Run the following command from the command line at the root of the installation directory
  • java -Dcivilizer.private_home_path=[your-private-home-path] -jar extra/lib/jetty-runner.jar --config jetty.xml --port [your-port-number] --path /civilizer civilizer

⚠️ When you specify a different PHD, ensure that its path is absolute.
