how to disable zend server CE auto start?

Question

I'm using Ubuntu 12.10, zend server CE 5.6, for some reason I want to try xampp, but zend server CE automatically start every time I boot up my laptop, is there a way to stop it? I don't want to uninstall zend server CE.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Zend Server CE installs a run script in /etc/init.d/zend-server (which is in fact a symlink to /usr/local/zend/bin/zendctl.sh). The easiest way how to stop Zend Server CE from starting is to remove the symlink, e.g.:

rm /etc/init.d/zend-server

That way the original file will be kept on your system, but it will not run at startup.

[Edit]: If you want the service back just symlink it back:

ln -s /usr/local/zend/bin/zendctl.sh /etc/init.d/zend-server

Answer 2

This is happening because the OS is starting the default HTTP service when it boots. Zend Server has a dependency on the Linux http service when it installs. So you'll have to configure http to not start automatically and start it manually when you want.

You can do it with bum.

Type sudo apt-get install bum, then launch it with sudo bum.
