To stop the Python HTTP server that you started, you can follow these steps:
-
Locate the Terminal: Go to the terminal window where the HTTP server is running. This is the terminal where you executed the command
python3 -m http.server 8000. -
Stop the Server: You can stop the server by simply pressing
Ctrl + C. This keyboard shortcut sends an interrupt signal to the running process, which will terminate the server. -
Verify the Server is Stopped: You can check if the server has stopped by trying to access it again using
curl:curl http://localhost:8000If the server has stopped, you should see an error message indicating that the connection was refused or that the server is not reachable.
That's it! Your HTTP server should now be stopped. If you have any further questions, feel free to ask!
