If installed from packages, the recommend approach is to use the init script:
/etc/init.d/quantum-server start
If installed or running from source, the service can also be invoked directly:
quantum-server
A successful start of the Quantum service with default settings will have output that ends with a line similar to. If running from an init script, this output will be in the file /var/log/quantum/quantum-server.log .
DEBUG [eventlet.wsgi.server] (2094) wsgi starting up on http://0.0.0.0:9696/
By default the service uses TCP port 9696 and listens on all IP addresses. To edit this and other Quantum Service settings, edit quantum.conf in the Quantum configuration directory. Editing this file can also be used to enable any extensions supported by the plugin. See your plugin documentation for more details.
To use a non-standard location for quantum.conf, run quantum-server directly and provide it as an argument when running the server:
quantum-server /path/to/quantum.conf
