Your web browser opens the Gateway home page at http: //localhost:8088. Sign in using the credentials for the administrator or user with full privileges for the Gateway as shown in Step 13 above.
Ignition installs itself as a Window Service (Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services > Ignition Gateway), so it starts automatically when your computer starts up.
You can automate Ignition installation across different machines using scripts. Ignition is then installed silently from a command shell without showing any user prompts. Keep in mind that the installer cannot automatically start the Gateway after a silent installation.
You can use the following command to start the Gateway:
net start ignition |
Command line example:
Ignition-8.x.x-windows-x64-installer.exe --mode unattended --prefix "C:\some folder" --unattendedmodeui none net start ignition |
Flags:
-- mode unattended
(ensures that no prompts appear during installation)-- prefix "C:\some folder"
(optional flag; if a value is set, then Ignition is installed in the specified folder, otherwise Ignition is installed in a default location under C:\Program Files)-- unattendedmodeui none | minimal
(the none
flag does not display any sort of graphic during installation; the minimal
flag displays a small progress bar and nothing else)
Be sure to back up your Gateway and unactivate your Gateway license. |
During a new Ignition installation, an uninstaller executable is created.
When Ignition is uninstalled, the settings database and folder in /data
is backed up to /data_<current date>
, and modules and user-supplied JDBC jars in /user-lib
are backed up to /user-lib_<current date>
. Also, the Ignition service is removed from Windows installations automatically.
You can also uninstall Ignition from the Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features section.
