Post-Installation Tasks

After you have installed and tested Trailhead, you must complete several steps to ensure proper system function. You must:

Change the Java Web Server Admin Password

The Java Web Server installs with an administrator user name and password. We recommend that you change this default password. Instructions for changing this password follow.

Java Web Server installs with the following user name and password:

  User name=admin

  Password=admin

Change the password of the admin user:

  1. Go to your browser and enter http://<server-name>:9090

  2. Log in.

  3. Highlight Web Service and click Properties.

  4. Enter and verify a new password in the window that displays.

  5. Click OK.

Configure Trailhead for AutoStart

Once installation is complete, you can ensure that Trailhead and all media automatically start when the Java Web Server is started. To ensure automatic start of Trailhead, you must set the autostart property to true in Trailhead.server.properties on the Trailhead server.

Important: Until you have created all of the HTML files referenced by the Trailhead system, ensure that the checkurls property in the Trailhead.properties file on the Media Blender server is set to false when using autostart. The checkurls property verifies that all HTML files referenced in Trailhead.server.properties exist at startup. Once you have created all of your Web pages, you can set this property to true.

Note: Do not set the autostart property to true until you are sure that all of your media have been properly configured.

How to Start JWS and Trailhead

Once Trailhead has been configured for autostart, use this command to start both the JWS and Trailhead automatically:

/usr/local/trailhead -start

When prompted, enter the JWS admin username and password.

How to Stop JWS and Trailhead

Use this command to stop both JWS and Trailhead automatically:

/usr/local/trailhead/ -stop
