Start/Stop Services
The options in this section cannot be run by hosted customers. Hosted customers should open a support ticket if running any of the options is needed.
This option allows you to start and stop the MySQL and Apache daemons and the Solr index. To access this section, select 1 Start Stop Services from the main menu. The following screen is displayed:

- Apache provides three main functions: start, stop, and restart. In some cases when a restart of Apache is required (especially in case of changes to reverse proxy configuration changes or in case of changes to core SFX programs), it is recommended to use the apachectl stop and apachectl start commands (with a few seconds interval between the two commands), instead of using the restart option. This is needed because the restart command restarts the main process only. If there are child processes running, they might not be restarted.
The restart option can be used after cleaning the Apache logs.
- The UNIX password of the sfxglb41 user is required to perform tasks 1-5 and 9-11 in this section. The UNIX passwords for each of the SFX instance users are required to perform tasks 9-11.
- Select option 8 Instance Apache restart after any mod_perl or configuration files are edited so that the changes to the files take effect.
Solr Start/Stop/Restart
The eBook Search uses a dedicated Solr index. Within the Solr index, each instance has its own Solr core. The Solr index is build and updated using the following two sources of information:
- the SFX databases (both global and local)
- the monograph RSI (for activation information)
Before the Solr index can be used, Solr must be up and running in the SFX installation.
To ensure that the monograph RSI index is used, change the config/rsi.config configuration file for each local instance to use a separate RSI index for eBooks and eJournals. For more information, see Rapid Service Indicator.
Solr restart is required if you change the Solr password. Solr restart is also required after adding or removing a Solr core, but only if you have chosen not to do an automatic Solr restart as part of the Add/remove Solr core option in the Server Admin Utility.
Do not perform a Solr start, stop, or restart while a Solr index build is being performed in the SFX installation.
