Change the port of QlikView Web Server 10 ?

[#1]

Hi,

i'm trying to install QV Web Server on a server that has already a Apache on port 80.

I have the QEMC and want to change it there but it doesn't save my new port :

Communication

Port:

The port always comes back to 80 and i can't start the Web Server Service

IIS is stopped and here is a part of the log

18/05/2011 15:31:42.9638966          Information          register prefix: "https://+:443/scripts/"

18/05/2011 15:31:42.9951452          Information          register prefix: "http://+:80/qvplugin/"

I think changing the config.xml is useless on V10 .. what can i do ?

thanks

To change the Webserver port

<Config>

  <DefaultUrl>http://_:8080/</DefaultUrl>

  <DefaultQvs>Local</DefaultQvs>

If what you need is for the webserver to handle HTTPS traffic then you should check with the QlikView Server Reference for steps on how to do that.

In the error you pasted something is already listening in the 443 port.

Ok thanks

I have removed the 443 used by Apache

and even stopped apache .. then here is what i get :

Hi,

If you have windows 2003 you will find the file in the below location

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QlikTech\WebServer

change the entries in config.xml file located in this folder

If you have windows 2008 you will find the file in the below location

C:\ProgramData\QlikTech\WebServer

change the entries in config.xml file located in this folder.

Hope it helps

Regards

hmmm... On my installation I don't have the path \QlikTech\WebServer. Neither as hides.

But I found \QlikView\Web\

And in this folder the file 'web.config' with the lines:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<configuration>

</configuration>

I tried this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<configuration>

  <DefaultUrl>http://_:8084/</DefaultUrl>

</configuration>

But didn't work...

[#7]

Great... I found it.

I was looking for wrong path...

Once the server is started, we can change the port at

http://localhost:4780/qemc/SystemSetup.htm#

System > Setup > QlikView WebServer > General

Tks
