Answer 1

you can find the "ttserver" file by using the this simple command and the use the result as as bash command:

find / -name ttserver

when i used the command it gave me a result like this:

/usr/local/tokyotyrant-1.1.33/bin/ttserver

Answer 2

ttservctl is the shell script used to start/stop/restart the Tokyo Tyrant server (a.k.a startup script). This startup script is just a wrapper around the ttserver command-line tool.

Your problem here is that your shell cannot find the ttserver tool which is certainly not in your $PATH.

It sounds as if:

1. you try to execute the startup script located at the root of the Tokyo Tyrant source code: ./ttservctl
2. and thus, you have NOT installed Tokyo Tyrant but just built it (i.e ./configure && make)

You should re-build it and run make install: by default it will be installed under /usr/local but you can change this at configure time via the --prefix=/path/to/dest option.

Once done just hit ttservctl start without the ./ and it should work.
