The internal web server included with the IDE can be started and stopped using the Server Manager in the IDE. Please see the Using the Server Manager topic for more information.

The external web servers included with Elevate Web Builder must be started manually, and how this is done depends upon the type of web server executable being started. The 32-bit console version of the web server can be started like a normal application, whereas both the 32-bit and 64-bit service versions of the web server must be first installed as a Windows service before they can be started using one of several methods for starting services.


Installing the Web Server Service

---

If you wish to run the web server as a Windows service you must first install it by running the web server with the install command-line switch set. For example, to install the web server as a service you would specify the following command:

ewbsrvr.exe /install

To uninstall the web server as a Windows service you must run the web server with the uninstall command-line switch set. For example, to uninstall the web server as a service using the Run command window under Windows you would specify the following command:

ewbsrvr.exe /uninstall

Finally, by default the service will display a dialog box when the service is installed/uninstalled successfully. This is sometimes not desired during installations, and in these cases you can use the silent command-line switch to suppress the dialog box:

ewbsrvr.exe /install /silent
ewbsrvr.exe /uninstall /silent

Starting the 32-bit Console Web Server

---

Use the following command to start the 32-bit console web server from a command window:
