Procedure

  1. Run the following command.

    • If the previous command does not stop the HTTPd process, verify that no user has the web console open in a browser window.
    • If you run the previous command without success, you can use the following command to stop any orphaned HTTPd processes:
      1. Log in as root.
      2. Run the following command:
