Where should I install jVDR?
You are free to choose the directory, jVDR doesn't rely on any directories like htdocs from apache or other. We propose $home/java/jvdr-<version>.
How can jVDR be active even if I log out?
Currently there is no daemon available. We suggest to you the utility screen and run jVDR in such a screen. You will find a excurs to screen in Kap. 4.3. You can also use the script jvdr.sh, oder copy this to /etc/init.d.
I lost my password!
Shut down jVDR (STRG+C), and take a look in Hib.script. Search for your username and you will see the password.
jVDR does not start automaticly after updating it?
If you are using jvdr.sh you have to update the version number and path.
