Https QVWS on port 445

[#1]

Hi!

Need to set up an https port 445 (not the standard 443!).

The setup procedure is described in the instructions perfectly "SSL activation on QlikView Webserver without IIS.doc". All is fine for port 443.

If you change the port - the server is not available. QVWS log exception:

https error. Exception: System.Net.HttpListenerException (0x80004005): The process can not access the file because this file is used by another process

at System.Net.HttpListener.AddAllPrefixes ()

at System.Net.HttpListener.Start ()

at QlikView.AccessPoint.HttpServiceComponent.CreateAndStartHttpListener ()

Help me solve the problem.

Hi,

Windows uses port 445 by default for SMB service (see the official Microsoft site here), so you will have to first disable it. Double check with the IT people that you can disable all services listed in that link. Anyway I'd strongly recommend to change the port 445 to another port that Windows is not using.

Hope that helps.

Thanks a lot!

It is my oversight - forgot to check the available ports.

checked (netstat-an) - 445 is really busy

now set up on the 446 - and it works

Hello,

I'm also faced with this challenge, could share how you edited the config file to use another port other than the QlikView enabled port 443?

Thanks.
