Starting the ScanCentral SAST Controller

You can start the Controller manually or set it to start automatically, as a service.

Starting the Controller Manually

To start the Controller:

If you plan to upload your scan results to Fortify Software Security Center, check to make sure that the Fortify Software Security Center instance is running.
On the machine that hosts the Controller, navigate to the Tomcat <bin> directory:
- On a Windows system: cd <controller_dir>\tomcat\bin
- On a Linux system: cd <controller_dir>/tomcat/bin
Run one of the following commands:
- On a Windows system, run startup.bat.
  
  Note: If Tomcat is running as a service, rather than running start.bat, you can just start the service.
- On a Linux system, run ./startup.sh.
