# Overview

Note

In the previous chapter (*i2b2 Server-Common Install*) we intentionally did not restart WildFly.

- If you did restart WildFly then you need to proceed with this step.
- If you did not restart WildFly then you can skip this step.
- If you are not sure if WildFly is running then we suggest you proceed with this step in the event that it may be running.

In order to deploy the PM cell correctly on your i2b2 server it is important that WildFly is not running.

The process of stopping your ***WildFly***Server depends on your environment and the appropriate steps have been outlined in one of the following sections.
