The default instance is named 'geronimo0geronimo' . It can will be created and run using the following. It will use <geronimo_home>/geronimo0geronimo for instance data.

Creating A New Server Instance

To create an instance named foo do the follwing. All your instance data will be put in <geronimo_home>/foo. All the directories named below are relative to <geronimo_home>.

1. mkdir foo
2. Copy var from template directory to foo. A foo/deploy directory and many others will be created automatically when the instance is started.
3. Edit foo/var/config/config.substitutions.properties and change the portOffset (default value 0). Try using 10, 20, 30.. etc for various instances.

An Example

To create all the instances under a directory named 'servers' copy 'var' to servers/geronimoi and change the portOffset for each instance. The directory <geronimo_home> will look like this-

1. servers/geronimo1, the instance name is servers/geronimo1
2. servers/geronimo2, the instance name is servers/geronimo2
3. servers/geronimo3, the instance name is servers/geronimo3
4. .................................................................................
5. .................................................................................

To run ith instance set org.apache.geronimo.server.name property to servers/geronimoi.
