An administrative user must make sure the Surround SCM Server is running before users can access Surround SCM.
Windows
If the Surround SCM Server is installed as a service, it starts automatically. If the server is installed as an application, you must start it manually. Choose All Programs > Perforce > Surround SCM > Surround SCM Server from the Start menu.
Note: If the server is installed as a service but not running or you need to restart it, see the Windows documentation for information about starting a service.
Linux
Enter /usr/bin/surroundscm start.
If you need to restart the server, enter /usr/bin/surroundscm stop and then restart the server.
