Controlling Starman

Submitted by Anonymous (not verified) on

Useful Starman commands.
Using the perl based Starman webserver is the easiest way to run LedgerSMB locally (and quite possibly for production use as well).

## At the terminal, and from your LedgerSMB directory:
### Start Starman

starman  tools/starman.psgi

Default port is 5000.

starman -l :8080 tools/starman.psgi

Start with 8080 specified as the port.

Note: some documentation specifies the switch

--preload-app

It has been sugggested that this may give performance advantages in a production environment but isn't recommended while developing.
The manpage has more to say on this.
