The bootstrapSingleServer Method

Bootstrap a server for standalone usage in production or development environment. This action is designed to give an automated process the option to bootstrap a server with particular settings.

Note that once a server has been bootstrapped, it may not be added passively into a cluster using clusterAddServer. It may still join a cluster using a direct WebAPI -serverAddToCluster, or a UI call. This WebAPI action is explicitly accessible without a WebAPI Key, but only during the bootstrap stage.

Unlike the UI bootstrap/launching process, this bootstrap action does not restart Zend Server nor perform any authentication. A WebAPI key with administrative permissions is created as part of the bootstrap process so that you may immediately continue working. It is up to the user to decide what to do with this key once the bootstrap is completed.

Read a certain number of log lines from the end of the file log. If serverId is passed, then the request will be performed against that cluster member, otherwise it is performed locally.

Note:

The bootstrap process may not complete in time for the response’s creation, in this case “success” will be false.
