Starting and stopping the Domino Web server

There are several different ways you can start and stop the Domino® Web server.

About this task

  • To start the Web server manually, enter load http at the console.
  • To start the Web server automatically when you start Domino, edit the ServerTasks setting in the NOTES.INI file to include the command http. Domino adds the HTTP task by default to the NOTES.INI file if you choose to install a Web server during installation.
  • To stop the Web server, enter tell http quit at the console.
  • To use new server configuration settings by restarting the HTTP server task, enter tell http restart at the console.
  • To use new server configuration settings without restarting the HTTP server task, enter tell http refresh at the server console.
    Note: This command only works with settings specified in the Internet Sites view.

When the HTTP task starts, a server console message indicates which Domino Directory view the task is using for Web configuration information (Servers\Internet Sites or Servers\Web Configurations).
