Stopping server

When the Teamwork Server is stopped, client products can no longer perform all teamwork operations such as check out project, commit and update changes. Therefore, stopping of server must be done carefully.

Stopping of server involves two main parts. The first part is to let VP Server check if it is safe to perform a shut down and to shut down for you if alright. The second part is to stop the server program.

1. In the Teamwork Server server machine, open a web browser and visit: http://127.0.0.1:1999/admin
2. Enter the username of administrator (default: Admin), the password and click Login.

3. Click on the [Shutdown] link at top right.
   

   Shutdown the server

4. Click on the Shutdown Server button to start the pre-shutdown procedures. It first checks if it is possible to perform a shut down. If someone is connecting to the server for performing tasks like commiting, shutdown will be rejected. If it is safe to shutdown, it will shutdown the server for you.
5. Run shutdown.bat (shutdown.sh for Linux and Mac OS X) in the scripts folder under the VP Server server program directory to quit the process.
