QlikView webserver collides with port 80 and 443 even after change in config.xml

[#1]

Hi all,

we have a server that runs Tomcat on port 80 and 443. On the same server we want to run QlikView Server 9.0 and QlikView standalone webserver. Therefore i change the QlikView default webserver port in D:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\QlikTech\QvWebServer\config.xml to

<Port>12345</Port>
<HttpsPort>-1</HttpsPort>

But when I try to start the QlikView webserver it wont start. When I check the log file I get the following:

It seems like it is trying to start something on ports 80 and 443 anyway. Is there something I have missed? Changing ports for Tomcat isn't an option at the moment.

Hi,

don't know whether that matters in this case, but according to the release notes you should also set the TunnelUrl.

Hi,

Change those lines in Config.xml to for example Port 81

<Config>

<Port>81</Port>

<HttpsPort>-1</HttpsPort>

<TunnelHost>localhost</TunnelHost>

<Synchronous>False</Synchronous>

<ConfigUrl>http://_:4750/qvws.asmx</ConfigUrl>

<TunnelUrl>http://_:81/scripts/QVSTunnel.dll</TunnelUrl>

<QvsStatusUrl>http://_:81/QvAjaxZfc/QvsStatus.aspx</QvsStatusUrl>

<LogLevel>Information</LogLevel>

<UseCompression>True</UseCompression>

<InstallationPath>C:\Program Files\QlikView\Server\QvWebServer</InstallationPath>

<QvsTimeout>60</QvsTimeout>
