Kepler
The Lua Web Development Platform

Using Kepler with Xavante in Windows

Xavante is one of the easiests ways to use Kepler on Windows. If you choose to install Xavante during the installation of Kepler, there should be an icon for it on your desktop and an entry in your Start Menu/Programs.

Both the desktop icon and the menu option allows you to start Xavante by simply clicking on them. Once started, Xavante should display a small green icon on your Tray Bar. From this icon you can start and stop Xavante, check its log messages and exit completely Xavante.

The default configuration for Xavante uses the <Kepler Home>/web directory for Lua Pages and Lua Scripts and uses port 8080 on localhost. If you want to change this configuration, just edit the <Kepler Home>/conf/xavante/config.lua file.

To check if everything is OK, just open the URL http://localhost:8080 in your browser (or the corresponding URL if you've changed the config.lua file). Xavante should show the Kepler welcome page and offer a link to its documentation and self tests.

As an alternative, you can also start Xavante using the Lua command line interpreter. The example below is a batch file that can be used to start Xavante in Windows in the c:\kepler\1.1 directory.

@echo Xavante Started
@c:\kepler\1.1\bin\lua5.1.exe c:\kepler\1.1\bin\xavante_start
