Hi,

Setup Mattermost to use the Ubuntu Upstart daemon which handles supervision of the Mattermost process.

sudo touch /etc/init/mattermost.confsudo vi /etc/init/mattermost.confCopy the following lines into /etc/init/mattermost.conf

start on runlevel [2345]  
stop on runlevel [016]  
respawn  
chdir /home/ubuntu/mattermost  
setuid ubuntu  
exec bin/platform

You can manage the process by typing:  
sudo start mattermost

in this iam not starting the mattermost…

but database is connecting .

how to solve this problem. some one help me…
