# Enable Configuration Changes

When you change the HPE IDOL Server configuration file, you must stop and restart HPE IDOL Server so that it reads the new configuration.

To stop and restart HPE IDOL Server

- For Windows. Display the Windows Services dialog box, stop the HPE IDOL Server service, then start it again.

- For UNIX. Use the `Stop.sh` stop script to stop HPE IDOL Server, then use the `Start.sh` script to start it again. These scripts are supplied with the HPE IDOL Server installation.

- For any platform. In the Console page in IDOL Admin, click the Service Control tab, then click Stop Service. Then manually restart the service by using the start script (UNIX), or the Windows Services dialog box (Windows).

Some configuration changes require you to reindex your data. In these cases, HPE recommends that you use the `DREEXPORTIDX` or `DREEXPORTXML` index actions to export your content to an IDX or XML document. You can then initialize your index, make your configuration changes, and index the IDX or XML file back into HPE IDOL Server.
