UNIX environments:

  1. Start a Server Express command prompt. If you need instructions, see To start a Server Express command prompt.
  2. Enter the following commands:
    su root
    cd $COBDIR/bin
    mfds &
    exit
  3. Open a Web browser and specify http://host:86, where host is the machine on which Enterprise Server is installed.
    Note: Once you have entered the su root command, you need to ensure that your Enterprise Developer environment variables are still set up, as some UNIX systems lose these environment variables when the su root command is run.
