title: WebSphere 8.5 - Not stopping on Windows
body: <p>Newbie to WebSphere. I deployed EAR in WAS and started the application. Everything is fine. I updated some hTML stuff and created EAR again, and I went to <code>WebSphere Enterprise Application</code>. Selected my application and clicked on <code>Update</code> button. I chose my new EAR and clicked on <code>Next</code> button. It keeps going forever. So I tried to stop the server and now it does not stop, the Admin console doesn't open any page well.</p>
  
  <p>I tried to stop this from command prompt as well. <code>stopServer &lt;servername&gt; -username &lt;u&gt; -password &lt;pw&gt;</code>. It just hangs at <code>Reading configuration for the server &lt;servername&gt;</code>. And when this happens, the Laptop heats up like hell. </p>
  
  <p>When this happened first time, I had to restart the Laptop. Its happening again.</p>
  
  <p>Where is the problem? Any issue with "updating" ear?</p>
