How do I change the port numbers used by the server application ?

As with any application running on a network, Office Maker Server and BiblioMaker Server use different TCP and UDP ports to communicate with client workstations.

The list of default ports is described in this article.

To avoid conflicts with other applications running on the same server, these port numbers can be changed:

On the server, in the server application*, in the Edit (Windows) or File (macOS) menu, call up the Settings>User settings for data file command.

*Notice : under Windows, if the Server app runs as a service, you must stop the service then start up the app over the File Explorer in order to get the administration window. Caution : before stopping the service, check that no user is connected, otherwise the connection will be closed without warning and the data being entered will be lost.

The properties window consists of several pages. On the following pages, you specify the port numbers:

• Client-server
• Web
• SQL
• PHP

Note that changing the port on the Client-Server page automatically modifies the following ports: Reserved port = Client-Server + 1; Connection = Client-Server + 6.

It's essential to assign different port numbers in each page, otherwise you'll get error messages when the software starts up.
