2.7.2 Starting the Daisy Repository Server

Still in the same command prompt (or in a new one, but make sure DAISY_HOME is set), go to the directory <DAISY_HOME>/repository-server/bin, and execute:

daisy-repository-server <location-of-daisy-data-dir>

If you're on Windows and installed Java in a directory containing spaces in the name (for example, c:\Program Files), do the following: open the file <DAISY_HOME>/repository-server/merlin/bin/merlin.bat in a text editor. The third line counting from the end starts with %JAVA%, change this to "%JAVA%" (thus, put it between quotes).

In which you replace <location-of-daisy-data-dir> with the location of the daisy data directory created in the previous step.

The startup can take a few seconds, though nothing special is printed to the screen to indicate it is completely started (the prompt will not return)

OpenJMS and MySQL still need to be running, otherwise the repository server will be unable to start.
