Install and Configure AllegroGraph RDF Store

Installing on Windows

AllegroGraph is installed as a windows service. After the installation if complete one must proceed to configure the RDF store

1. Create a folder on disk where the store repositories will reside, say D:\repositories

2. Open and edit the [AllegroGraph installation directory]\agraph.cfg file and change it accordingly

;; This file contains the configuration options for AllegroGraph.
;; Please refer to the installation documentation for the
;; AllegroGraph server for information on valid values for these options.
;;
;; Comments start with a semicolon (;).
(
;; Please do not change the following line:
(:agraph-server-config 5)
;; User-settable options start here:
:direct nil
:new-http-port 6789
:new-http-auth nil
:new-http-catalog ("D:/repositories")
:http-port -1
:http-init-file nil
:http-only nil
:idle-life 86400
:eval-in-server-file nil
:pid-file "sys:agraph.pid"
:client-prolog nil
:index -1
:init-file "sys:aginit.cl"
:lease -1
:limit -1
:log-file "sys:agraph.log"
:no-direct nil
:no-java nil
:port 4567
:port2 4568
:res -1
:repl-port nil
:standalone t
:timeout 60
:error-log nil
:users 50
:verbose t
)
;;END OF CONFIG

the location of the repositories folder can be any, so can the port

4. Update AllegroGraph and restart the service
