[Geoserver-users] Can't stop or uninstall GeoServer 2.1.3

I've managed to do something odd to my installation of GeoServer (2.1.3, installed some time in the last twelve months).

I appear to have created two installations and have lost control of one of them - I've just uninstalled the one with the intention of re-installing an newer version. But one of the installations is still present. I can't find a way to stop it and therefore can't simply delete the files.

Can someone tell me the name of the processes to look for on the server to force a shut-down? I can then start again!

Regards,
Dave

Hi David,
On windows its a “java.exe” that’s a sub-item for “cmd.exe”, at least if you’ve used the batch file to start it.

If its a service I’m not sure what it’ll be. Use the excellent Process explorer to find out what’s running - http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx - also it may be running as a different user?
