How to "stop the servers"?

Beltran … concerning BitNami Wordpress backup, you wrote “stop the servers” … how does one do that?

My Windows Vista BitNami Drupal stack starts two “services”: drupalApache and drupalMySQL.

I have found two ways to stop them:

1) Start > Administrative Tools > Services
2) Command Prompt > sc stop {servicename}

Is there any other way to “stop the servers?”

Hi,

You can also use the shortcuts:

Start → BitNami XXX Stack → Services → Stop/Start

Or you can run the “servicerun.bat” script:

> cd “C:\Program Files\BitNami XXX Stack”
> servicerun.bat STOP
> servicerun.bat START

Cheers.

Oh … thanks! … I never bothered to look inside the folder called “BitNami Drupal 6 Stack Service”!!!

Why are those links hidden inside a folder???

Hmm … inside the folder [Start > BitNami Drupal 6 Stack Service] is “Install BitNami Drupal 6 Stack as service” … but on my Vista machine, both Apache and MySQL automatically become services when I launch BitNami … I’ll have to investigate this some more.

“The first installer will use the default port (80 or 8080), the second one will realize that this port is binded and will ask you what port should it use.”

By the way, the verb “bind” has an irregular past participle, which is bound … so the “port is bound” … similarly find→found, grind→ground, wind→wound.

English speakers waste a lot of brain power because of their multicultural linguistic history (and the printing press, which froze orthography). [freeze→froze!]

I lived in Italy as a kid and, unless you are dyslexic or otherwise impaired, spelling is not a problem — though there are irregular constructions which must be learned [e.g., my baby brother would dig a hole in the sand at the beach and fill it in again, and proclaim “L’ho chiudato!” instead of “L’ho chiuso!” [I ‘closed’ it = filled it in]

Thanks Eliot,

Sorry for the mistake. I’m not dyslexic but English is not my native language.
