5.4.4. Starting/stopping your private instance
You can start your private instance by entering the following command in the terminal prompt (supposing your instance is located in the my-instance directory):
my-instance/bin/startup.sh
You should check the logs/ subdirectory for any error. If you have a java.net.BindException: Address already in use<null>:8080 error, it means that the port you're using is already taken and that you should change it.
You can stop your instance by entering the following command in the terminal prompt (supposing your instance is located in the my-instance directory):
my-instance/bin/shutdown.sh
