Starting and Stopping the Documentation Server

When you boot the system on which the documentation server is running, the server is started automatically (through the /etc/init.d/ab2mgr script). You can also manually start, stop, and restart the documentation server when needed. For example, you must restart the documentation server after you install a new document collection.

To perform these functions, log in as root on the documentation server machine and use the ab2admin command-line interface.

• To start the documentation server, use the following command:

  # /usr/lib/ab2/bin/ab2admin -o start

• To stop the documentation server, use the following command:

  # /usr/lib/ab2/bin/ab2admin -o stop

• To restart the documentation server, use the following command:

  # /usr/lib/ab2/bin/ab2admin -o restart

  If restarting the server does not supply the expected behavior, stop and start the server.

• To start the documentation server with debugging enabled, use the following form of the start-up command:

  # /usr/lib/ab2/bin/ab2admin -o start -D
