How to Start or stop services on Windows in Bitnami?

Today, let us see how our Support Techs perform it.

Bitnami native installers automate the setup of a Bitnami application stack on Windows, Mac OS and Linux.

Each installer includes all of the software necessary to run out of the box (the stack).

Bitnami native installers include a graphical tool to manage services.

This tool is name manager-windows.exe on Windows and is located in the installation directory.

To use this tool, double-click the file and then use the graphical interface to start, stop or restart services.

Server log messages can check in the “Server Events” tab.

The Windows native installer creates shortcuts to start and stop services create in the Start Menu, under “Programs -> Bitnami APPNAME Stack -> Bitnami Service”.

Servers can also manage from the Windows “Services” control panel.

Services are named using the format APPNAMESERVICENAME, where APPNAME is a placeholder for the application name and SERVICENAME is a placeholder for the service name.

For example, the native installer for the Bitnami WordPress Stack installs services named wordpressApache and wordpressMariaDB.
