Changing from HTTP port 9180 to HTTP port 80
The port upon which the MarkVision Web Server responds to Web requests is configurable. It may become necessary to change the port setting to simplify the Web Client URL by changing from HTTP port 9180 to HTTP port 80. Since HTTP port 80 is the standard port for Web browsers, setting the HTTP port to 80 eliminates the need to specify 9180 in the MarkVision URL.
Change the MarkVision Web Server port by editing the
file, located at:
For Windows:
For Mac, Linux, and UNIX:
Within the
file, locate the following tag section:<!-- changed to 9180 for non-default web server --> <http10webconnector port="9180" secure="false" maxThreads="100" maxSpareThreads="50" minSpareThreads="10" />Copy the section and paste it below the original. Under this heading, change the
value to 80 and save the changes. Stop and restart the Web server service to make the changes operational. This will allow the MarkVision Web Server to accept requests from both ports.Additionally, you can change the server port in Linux and UNIX by running the
script and then follow the instructions.
What port should I use?
The MarkVision Web Server can only be set to listen to HTTP port 80 provided no other Web server is currently using the port. Do not remove the prior section containing 9180 as some functions of MVP may require this port.
