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).
