# 5.2 - Starting and Stopping the server

[TOC]

## 5.2.1 Archive Distribution (zip/tar.gz)

### Starting ApacheDS

#### On Linux/Unix Systems

In a terminal, first move to the ApacheDS directory of the unarchived distribution and then run the _**apacheds.sh**_ script in the _**bin**_ directory:

    $ cd <path-to-apacheds-directory>
    $ sh bin/apache.sh

#### On Windows

Double-click the _**apacheds.bat**_ command in the _**bin**_ directory or in a terminal, first move to the _**bin**_ directory of the unarchived distribution and then run the _**apacheds.bat**_ command:

    $ cd <path-to-apacheds-directory>\bin
    $ apacheds.bat

### Stopping ApacheDS

ApacheDS can be stopped by hitting _**CTL+C**_ in the terminal the server was launched with. If the _**apacheds.bat**_ command was double-clicked, closing the terminal window will also stop ApacheDS. 

## 5.2.2 Windows Installer (.exe)

ApacheDS is registered as a service on Windows. Start and Stop operations can be achieved in the _**Services**_ utility which is accessible via _**Start**_ > _**Control Panel**_ > _**Administration Tools**_ > _**Services**_.

ApacheDS also provides an easier access to the _**Services**_ utility via _**Start**_ > _**All Programs**_ > _**ApacheDS**_ > _**Manage ApacheDS**_. 

### Starting ApacheDS

The ApacheDS service can be started right-clicking on the _**ApacheDS - Default**_ service and selecting _**Start**_ in the context menu.

### Stopping ApacheDS

The ApacheDS service can be started right-clicking on the _**ApacheDS - Default**_ service and selecting _**Stop**_ in the context menu.

## 5.2.3 Linux Binary (.bin), Debian (.deb) & Fedora (.rpm) Installers

### Starting ApacheDS

In a terminal, run the following command:

    $ sudo /etc/init.d/apacheds-${version}-default start

### Stopping ApacheDS

In a terminal, run the following command:

    $ sudo /etc/init.d/apacheds-${version}-default stop

**NOTE:** The ApacheDS Linux Binary installer lets the user decide the location of the launch script. The commands above refer to the default location and need to be adapted to whatever path was chosen during the installation.

## 5.2.4 Mac OS X Installer (.pkg)

### Starting ApacheDS

In a terminal, run the following command:

    $ sudo launchctl start org.apache.directory.server

### Stopping ApacheDS

In a terminal, run the following command:

    $ sudo launchctl stop org.apache.directory.server
