Configuring Your RAD Server Engine or RAD Server Console on Linux

From RAD Studio

Go Up to RAD Server Engine (EMS Server)


To set up your RAD Server(EMS) properly, you need the resources and the stand-alone developer applications that are delivered with RAD Studio.

Setting Up the RAD Server Engine

  1. On your Windows machine at C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\19.0\EMSServer, find the following files:
    • ems_install.sh
    • LinuxEMSServer.tar
  2. Copy the files to your Linux machine.
    Note:
    Copy both files to the same folder.
  3. Run the ems_install.sh file (with use administrator privileges).
    Note:
    You can find installation details in /var/ems_install.log.

Running the RAD Server Engine

You can run the RAD Server Engine using the following command: 

/usr/lib/ems/EMSDevServerCommand

To run the RAD Server console, use the following command: 

/usr/lib/ems/EMSDevConsoleCommand

Also, you can use environment variables created by ems_install.sh, for example: 

$EMS_HOME/EMSDevServerCommand

Configuring Your RAD Server Environment for the First Time

The EMSDevConsoleCommand and EMSDevServerCommand programs run the setup wizard when they cannot find the emsserver.ini file in the current and /etc/ems directories, or if the server runs with param setup, like the following: 

/usr/lib/ems/EMSDevConsoleCommand -setup
Note:
Before running the RAD Server Setup Wizard, you need to properly set up the Interbase RAD Server database.

To configure the RAD Server Engine do the following:

  1. Run Console or Server.
  2. Type start
  3. Type y to run the wizard.
  4. Specify the connection parameters by entering the following values:
    • Server instance: type the following default instance name gds_db
    • DB File Name: the default name is emsserver.ib
    • DB File Directory: the default path is current directory
    • DB User Name: the default parameter is sysdba
    • DB Password: the default parameter is masterkey
    • Console User Name: the default value is consoleuser
    • Console Password: the default value is consolepass
    Note: The username and password are saved in the emsserver.ini file as plain text.
