Now that you've installed the Ringside Social Application Server, you may be wondering how to start and stop the servers. Instructions follow by operating system.

Mac

There is a script in the ringside installation directory called 'ctlscript.sh'. This script can be used as follows:

usage: ./ctlscript.sh help
       ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart|status)
       ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart|status) mysql
       ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart|status) apache

help       - this screen
start      - start the service(s)
stop       - stop  the service(s)
restart    - restart or start the service(s)
status     - show the status of the service(s)

Windows

The Ringside installer creates services that are started for you automatically. To stop, start, or restart the web server (Apache) or database server (MySQL), click to start menu and select 'Run'. Type 'services.msc' and click 'OK'. This will open the service manager. Scroll down the list until you find 'ringsideApache' and 'ringsideMySQL'. Right click on the one you want to stop/start/restart, and select that option.
