Starting & Stopping
Starting and Stopping Netscape Console
Windows NT: From the Windows Start menu in the lower left-hand
corner of your screen, choose Programs, then Netscape Server
Family, then finally Netscape Console 4.0.
Unix: In your nshome
directory, enter ./startconsole
When you see the Netscape
Console login window, enter the Administrator's user name and password,
along with the Administrative URL for the Admin Server on the target system.
If you followed the instructions in the NT
or Solaris Installation modules,
both the login and password would be admin.
The Administrative URL would be the hostname of the target system, followed
by a colon, followed by the administrative port number. If you forgot
to write down this number during installation, you can figure it out by
examining the install.inf file (assuming you didn't delete it
during installation!).

You can stop Netscape Console simply by dismissing the window (clicking
on the X in the upper right-hand corner of the window).
Starting and Stopping the Admin Server
The Administration Server automatically starts once it's installed.
When you need to restart the server, you can start it from Netscape Console
or from the command line.
From the Command Line
Windows NT: From the Start menu in the lower left-hand
corner of your screen, choose Run. Then enter nshome/slapd-hostname/start-admin.cmd
Unix: In the nshome directory, enter ./start-admin
From Netscape Console
To restart the Administration Server using Netscape Console:
From the Navigation Tree in Netscape Console, open the Administration Server
you want to start.
Click Tasks, then choose Restart Server.

Stopping the Admin Server
To stop the Admin Server:
From the Navigation Tree in Netscape Console, open the Administration Server
you want to stop.
Click Tasks, then choose Stop Server.
Starting and Stopping the Directory Server
If you are not using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL),
you can start and stop the directory server using the methods listed below.
From the Directory Server Console
You can start and stop the Directory Server by using the Server
Control interface shown below. This interface is reached by expanding
the Server group in Netscape Console.

From the Widows NT Services Control Panel
Select Start | Settings | Control Panel from the desktop.
Double-click the Services icon.
Scroll through the list of services and select the Netscape Directory
Server.
Click Stop and then confirm that you want to stop the service.
To start the service, select the directory server service and click Start.
From the Unix or Windows NT Command Line
Use one of the following scripts:
nshome/slapd-serverId/start-slapd
or
nshome/slapd-serverId/stop-slapd
On Unix systems, both of these scripts must run with the same UID
and GID as the one used by the Directory Server.
