Starting and Stopping the Directory Server

Starting/Stopping the Server From the Console
1.
Start the Directory Server Console.
For instructions, refer to “Starting Directory Server Console,” on page 32.
2.
On the Tasks tab, click “Start the Directory Server” or “Stop the Directory
Server” as appropriate.
When you successfully start or stop your Directory Server from the Directory
Server Console, the server displays a message box stating either that the server
started or has shut down.
Alternatively, if you are using a Windows machine:
1.
Select Start > Settings > Control Panel from the desktop.
2.
Double-click the Services icon.
3.
Scroll through the list of services and select the Netscape Directory Server.
The service name is
Netscape Directory Server
version
(
serverID
)
, where
version is the version number and
serverID
is the identifier you specified for the
server when you installed it.
4.
Start or stop the service:
❍
To stop the service, click Stop and then confirm that you want to stop the
service.
❍
To start the service, select the Directory Server service and click Start.
NOTE
On UNIX systems, rebooting the system does not automatically
start the
slapd
process. This is because the directory does not
automatically create startup or run command (
rc
) scripts. Check
your operating system documentation for details on adding these
scripts. On Windows, a user can shut down the Directory Server
from the console. Care should be taken to restrict console access to
computers running Directory Servers.
