Database settings should be the same as fro EPP-DRS. So, jwhois and EPP-DRS should point to the same database.
Execute the following command to start jwhois daemon
/usr/local/jwhois/jwhoisserver /usr/local/jwhois
For testing type the following command:
whois -h localhost testdomain.com
You should see something like:
NO OBJECT FOUND! object: testdomain.com type: domain
If you see such text it means that everything configured properly. If you did’t see such message it means that you’ve configured jwhois incorrectly. You could enable debug logging by setting server.loglevel.* in server.cfg . after this restart jwhois and check var/log/jwhoisserver.log
After this you could add /usr/local/jwhois/jwhoisserver /usr/local/jwhois to boot scripts to let jwhois automatically start during server boot.
On http://jwhoisserver.sourceforge.net/ you could find a lot of useful information.
