Most of the time it will not be necessary to stop or start the server; however there are some circumstances where this is required:
Performing an offline backup
Upsizing the database to an external database
Upgrading the application
The procedure for stopping the server depends on the platform the server is run on.
The PaperCut NG application server runs as a Windows service when installed on Windows, and it can be stopped and started using the Services control panel applet. To stop/start/restart the application server:
Open the services control panel. ( → → → )
Find the service name PaperCut Application Server.
Right-click on the service.
Select the option you want to perform (e.g. Stop/Start/Restart).
When you start the application server, wait approximately 15-20 seconds for the service to start before accessing the admin interface. This gives the system time to initialize.
An alternative to using the services applet is to run the batch files located in the directory
[appdir]\server\bin\win. Using the batch files might be more convenient
when the process needs to be automated (like scripting a database backup). The batch files to
stop/start the server are called:
start-server.bat - starts the service
stop-server.bat - stops the service
