Starting and Stopping the Web Server Service

You can use the Express Server Manager to start and stop the IIS or Apache web server service. When you start or stop the service on Linux, you also start or stop the ltcsd daemon. For more information on the ltcsd daemon and why there is no corresponding service for Windows, see Express Server Architecture.

To start or stop the web server service, complete the following steps:

  1. Open the Express Server Manager (see Accessing the Express Server Manager).
  2. Click Status on the top navigation bar.
  3. Click the Start/Stop button to the right of the Web Server status line.

On Linux, if you start or stop the web server somewhere other than the Express Server Manager, you must complete the following additional steps to start or stop the ltcsd daemon.

  1. Open a terminal.
  2. Enter one of the following commands with root permissions:

    /etc/init.d/ltcsd start

    OR

    /etc/init.d/ltcsd stop
