You can run Management Console on a port other than the default
(80).
To configure Management Console to run on an alternate port:
- During installation, set the port to the value you want. If the system
is already installed, you can change two settings in <bf-install>/Apache/conf/httpd.conf.
For example, if myHost is your local machine and you want to run on port 81:
- Listen 81
- ServerName myHost:81
See also the comments in the httpd.conf file. Important: Do
not use port 8080; it is the default port for Apache Tomcat.
- Start the console and log in as root (or a user name with administrative
privileges)
- Go to . Change the following settings. The example is continued from
step 1.
- Console URL: set to the URL and port that Management
Console runs on. In this example it is http://myHost:81.
Do not use a trailing slash.
- QuickReport URL: set to http://myHost:8080/quickReport.
Do not use a trailing slash. The Management Console uses this URL to navigate
to the Quick Report pages.
- Stop and then start the engine.
