Starting and Stopping Web Proxy Server

When you install Web Proxy Server, two server instances are installed by default: a Web Proxy Server Administration Server instance and a Web Proxy Server instance.

To Start Web Proxy Server Administration Server and Instance

1. On the command line, change to WebProxyServer-base/proxy-admserv.

2. Start the Web Proxy Administration Server. For example:

   • Solaris OS: /opt/SUNWproxy/proxy-admserv/start

   • Linux: /opt/sun/webproxyserver/proxy-admserv/start

3. On the command line, change to WebProxyServer-base/proxy-hostname.domainname.

4. Start the Web Proxy Server instance. For example:

   • Solaris OS: /opt/SUNWproxy/proxy-server1/start

   • Linux: /opt/sun/webproxyserver/proxy-server1/start

5. Verify that the Web Proxy Server processes are running. For example:

   /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep proxy

To Start the Socks Server

1. On the command line, change to WebProxyServer_base/proxy-instance-name.

2. Start the Socks Server:

   ./start-sockd

3. Verify that the Socks Server processes are running. For example:

   /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep sockd

To Access the Administration Server Graphical Interface

Use the http://hostname.domainname:adminport format to access the Administration Server graphical interface. For example:

http://host1.example.com:8888

Your login confirms successful installation.

To Stop Web Proxy Server

1. On the command line, change to WebProxyServer-base/proxy-admserv.

2. Stop the Admin Server. For example:

   • Solaris OS: /opt/SUNWproxy/proxy-admserv/stop

   • Linux: /opt/sun/webproxyserver/proxy-admserv/stop

3. On the command line, change to WebProxyServer-base/proxy-instance-name.

4. Stop the Web Proxy Server instance. For example:

   • Solaris OS: /opt/SUNWproxy/proxy-server1/stop

   • Linux: /opt/sun/webproxyserver/proxy-server1/stop

5. Verify that the Web Proxy Server processes are not running. For example:

   /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep proxy

To Stop the Socks Server

1. On the command line, change to WebProxyServer_base/proxy-instance-name.

2. Stop the Socks Server:

   ./stop-sockd

3. Verify that the Socks Server processes are not running. For example:

   /usr/bin/ps -ef | grep sockd
