Servoy 4.0 Shutdown/Restart Application Server

How do you shutdown/restart Servoy application server 4.0? When I log in to the ‘Servoy Server Home’ page (http://localhost:8080/servoy-admin), I don’t see the ‘shutdown’ and ‘restart’ buttons that I used to see in version 3.5. The top of the page shows:

Server Information

and, I am a member of the ‘administrators’ group under ‘Group List’. The bottom of the home page used to show two buttons, one to shutdown and one to restart the server. So, how do you restart Servoy Server remotely?

Thanks!

Hi Kim,

Are you sure you started Servoy Server and not Developer ?
When you launch Developer you also get that page but indeed no restart/shutdown button.

Also note that Servoy Server 4.0.0 has an issue shutting down nicely. This is fixed in upcoming 4.0.1.

Hope this helps.

When you launch Developer you also get that page but indeed no restart/shutdown button.

Thanks for pointing this out…I was unaware of the difference (buttons vs. no buttons). This also explains why I could only connect remotely when Developer was running on the server.

Under Windows 2000 server, I installed Servoy Application Server as a service. From the Servoy ‘service’ folder (c:\program files\servoy\application_server\service", I issued the following command:

wrapper.exe -i “c:\program files\servoy\application_server\service\wrapper.conf”

When I view the Windows services, I see Servoy Application Server in the list marked as ‘automatic’ and ‘started’. Yet, if I try to connect remotely via the web interface, I get the following message:

‘Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage’

If I start Developer on the server, then I can connect remotely, albeit with the ‘no buttons’ application server page.

Another strange thing, if I stop and restart the service, then look at the ‘servoy_log.txt’ file, it is empty (blank) but is time and date stamped properly.

After stopping and restarting the Servoy Applicaton Server service several times, it finally started properly where I could connect to it remotely.

Thanks for all your help!
