 You'll find a ''run.cmd'' file in the ''DokuWikiStick'' directory. Double click it and the MicroApache webserver will start up and open your wiki in the system's default browser. On the first time it will open the usual [[:installer|DokuWiki Installer]] where you can configure the basic settings. Later it will simply load your wiki's start page at http://localhost:8800/
+In case the stop command in the run.cmd does not work, try to use the command
+**taskkill /f /im mapache.exe**
+which will kill the mapache.exe instances on your machine and also exits the DOS shell.
