How to stop the service of vmware web client 6.5

I could not find the web client 6.5 service in the services list any more, where could I stop it?

Here is the story, I install the vcenter 6.5 windows version on the same system with STS IDE, I need to stop the web client 6.5 service and start the virgo server to debug. Else the port 9090 is used.

Is there anything I should know?

In Web Client Console, go to vCenter Home > Administration > Deployment > System Configuration > Services

Hi,

Here are the steps for stopping webclient. I would recommend to reinstall the webclient with a custom portnumber. so that you can use both STS and webclient at the sametime.

Stopping vCenter Server and/or Platform Services Controller services

To stop a vCenter Server and/or Platform Services Controller service if it has started using the vSphere Web Client:

  1. Log in to the vSphere Web Client with a vCenter Single Sign-on administrator account.
  2. Navigate to Administration > Deployment > System Configuration.
  3. Click Services to view the list of all services within the vCenter Server system.
  4. To view the services for a specific node, click Nodes, select the node in question and click the Related Objects tab.
  5. Right-click on the service you would like to stop and select Stop.

To stop a vCenter Server and/or Platform Services Controller service if it is has started using the command-line:

  1. Log in as an administrator to the server that is running vCenter Server and/or Platform Services Controller.
  2. Open an administrative command prompt.
  3. Run this command to change to vCenter Server and/or Platform Services Controller installation directory:

    cd C:\Program Files\VMware\vCenter Server\bin

    Note: This command uses the default installation path. If you have installed vCenter Server and/or Platform Services controller to another location, modify this command to reflect the correct install location.

  4. Run this command to list the vCenter Server and/or Platform Services Controller services:

    service-control --list

  5. Run this command to stop a specific service:

    service-control --stop servicename

  6. Run this command to stop all services:

    service-control --stop --all

  7. To perform a dry run of the command, add the option --dry-run to the command. This displays the actions that command run, without executing the actions.

    For example:

    service-control --stop --all --dry-run
