I've installed AwareIM on OS X Server, using the Complete Apache2 and Complete Tomcat distributions from ServerLogistics.com.
The AwareIM installer did not configure either the Tomcat server.xml or the Apache httpd.conf file to provide web access to the operation environment.
Can you post the configuration changes that need to be made to either or both of those files?
Thank you.
OS X Installation Doesn't Configure Tomcat

Aware IM does not need Apache and it includes its own copy of Tomcat. So you don't need to install anything to get web access, apart from installing Aware IM.
To get access to web environment start Aware IM, start your browser and then point your browser to the following URL:
http://localhost:8080/AwareIM/logon.jsp
This will start the Aware IM login page. If you want to access your server remotely replace "localhost" with the name of your server in the URL above.
See also the Aware IM User Guide and "How To" documents for details how to login into the operation mode.
All documents are located in AwareIM.app/Contents/Resources/java/DOCS folder or on our web site at http://www.awareim.com/documentation.html

Running from the commandline on OS X
That's handy, having all dependencies bundled into the AwareIM server.
How can I run the server from the commandline in OS X? It's not practical to leave a user logged-in running the server. I'm currently running it using the "open" command from the commandline as root, but this is problematic because anyone logging-in to the machine via VNC will see the app running, and whoever he happens to be, when he logs out the app will close, shutting the server down.
Basically, it just means we have to be extra careful logging-in to the production machine. We can do it, but it's a headache. Running the app as a commandline process would be much more robust.
