Use a Non-Standard Web Server Port

This section describes the steps you need to follow to use a non-standard web server port.

If the port specified for the Tomcat server is already in use, you cannot log in to InfoView. You must reconfigure the Tomcat server by changing the port number in …\Tomcat\conf\server.xml under the Connector tag and restart the Apache Tomcat service.

To avoid this issue, follow these steps:

1. Open a Command Prompt and enter the following:

   netstat -a > netstat.txt

   This displays an etstat.txt text file in the current directory that contains, among other information, a list of the port numbers that are currently in use.

2. Open this text file and search for 8080.
3. If 8080 is already in use, insert a unique number and use that port number, instead of 8080, throughout this section.
