The escenic-admin Web Application

An administration web application called escenic-admin is included with the Escenic Content Engine. It provides access to various administration-related tools. This chapter contains a full description of escenic-admin and how to use it. It describes how you can use the application to carry out various tasks, but does not in general discuss the purpose of the tasks: this is covered either in the later chapters of this manual or in the Escenic Content Engine Installation Guide.

When the Content Engine is running, you can access escenic-admin by starting a browser and pointing it at:

http://your-server:8080/escenic-admin/

where your-server is the domain name or IP address of the server on which the Content Engine is running.

This should display the following page:
