Stopping the IBM HTTP Server

To stop the IBM HTTP Server:

1. Start a command prompt.

2. Navigate to the <ibm_http_server_location>\bin<ibm_http_server_location>/bin directory and issue the stop command with the -k option. For example:

   cd Z:\IBM\HTTPServer\bin

   apache -k stop

   cd /u01/IBM/HTTPServer/bin

   ./apache -k stop

This command is case sensitive.

Tip: The IBM HTTP Server can also be stopped through the Windows Services Applet.

Note: Starting with Tools Release 8.97, you can use the Server Manager to stop the IBM HTTP Server process.
