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.

Stopping Adobe Experience Manager from the Command Line

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.

UNIX® platform stop script example

./stop

Windows platform stop.bat script example

./stop.bat

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.
