Stopping Adobe Experience Manager stopping-adobe-experience-manager

To stop AEM, do one of the following:

  • Depending on the platform that you use:

    • If you started AEM from either a script or the command line, press Ctrl+C to shut down the server.
    • If you have used the start script on UNIX®, you must use the stop script to stop AEM.
  • If you started AEM by double-clicking the jar file, click the On button on the startup window (the button then changes to Off) to shut down the server.

The stop script is available under the <cq-installation>/bin directory. Both UNIX® and Windows versions are provided. The script stops the running instance installed in <cq-installation> directory.

If you only want to preconfigure the repository (without relocating it), you only have to:

  • Extract repository.xml to the required location

  • update repository.xml as required

  • create bootstrap.properties and define repository.config

Again, before starting the actual installation.
