Qvws v11 doesn't seem to allow port 4750 change - Qlik Community

Report Inappropriate Content · ‎2011-12-16

Hi,

(this message was first published on the Ask experts on v11 forum)

i have installed a qlikview server x86 v11 and i can't get the web service to start.

Even if i change the 4750 port to 4850 in the config.xml (like i could do with success in v10), it still doesn't start and gives an error in the windows event viewer saying port 4750 is already used (by Bladelogic on my server)

how can i change that ?

do you need some logs ?

thanks

Hi,

It is still possible to change the port number for the services in QlikView. The configuration files for this is the .config files for each service executable so in the case of the webserver the \Program Files\QlikView\Server\Web Server\QVWebServer.exe.config

In these files you will find a setting like

<addkey="WebservicePort" value="4750"/>

Where you can change the port number for the service.

I hope this will help you with your problems.

The change of this value doesn't work

Has someone tested that ?

it still wants to listen to 4750, i can't believe it hasn't been tested ...

Yes you are correct,

this has been verified as a bug and has been reported back to R&D

Hi,

the issue has been detected in 11.00.11149 and given to R&D, the have fixed it with this conclusion:

The qms does not write to the Qlikview Webservers config file, and if the webservice itself can not do that you have to manually change the port in the config file.

<add key="WebservicePort" value="4750"/>

this value is set in the following file QVWebServer.exe.config that you will find in C:\Program Files\QlikView\Server\Web Server."

S R, it is not only a bug of the QMS. Even if you change the .config, and restart the server, it still doesn't work.

It is known as a bug now, corrected but only available in next SR, as Qliktech told me

Thanks for this tip. Does seem to work in QV11 SR1.

I also changed the config.xml
