I installed and launched successfully but when I relaunched I was unable to log back to directory via the browser. I think it has something to do with launching bitnami. I am on mac and can’t find how to do this. Could someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

Hi ghog,

You can start the servers by executing

./ctlscript.sh start

from your installation folder. You can find more info on how to start and stop servers in the README.txt file. You can find it in your installation folder or online

ok these are the directions provided:

6. STARTING AND STOPPING BITNAMI JOOMLA! STACK

To start/stop/restart application on Linux you can use the included ctlscript.sh
utility, as shown below:

./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart)
     ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart) mysql
     ./ctlscript.sh (start|stop|restart) apache
start      - start the service(s)
stop       - stop  the service(s)
restart    - restart or start the service(s)

You can start and stop BitNami Joomla! Stack using the shortcuts created
in the Start Menu, under Programs -> BitNami -> BitNami Service

That will start Apache and MySQL services. Once started, you can open your
browser and access the following URL on Linux and OS X:

Well OSX does not have a Start Menu, that is a PC definition.

I see what you mean. OS X works like Linux, the servers are managed via the ‘ctlscript.sh’ file, present in the installation folder. We will change the README files to reflect this, thanks

Hi ghog,

I have already added it to our To-Do list. However, it may take a while to implement, because we are now working on other issues. Anyway, here you are the guide on how to start and stop the scripts.

  • Open up a terminal: You can find the launcher in /Applications/Utilities/Terminal
  • Go to the installation folder: If you have installed the stack in the default directory, you can use

cd /Applications/joomla-1.0.13-4

cd /Applications/joomla-1.5.0-0

depending on the version you installed

  • From there, you can use the script like is specified in the README file, as if you were using Linux

Good advice. For complete newbie types like me, you can drag ctlscript.sh out of the joomla! folder and plonk it into the terminal window, then just type “start”. Jobs a good’n

Hi Pablo,

I don’t use OS X, so I don’t really know how dragging the file into the terminal works, but you have the recommended way in a previous post. After you are located in the installation directory, just type

./ctlscript.sh start

and you’re done

Cheers

Thanks AvataPablo, after a restart of my mac, I could not figure out how to start my joomla stack again, this worked like a treat.
