Can't change http port

Classic Servoy
1

Under Edit->Preferences->Services there is “Http Port” which defaults to 8080.

All attempts to change this appear to be ineffectual :-(

Again, Servoy 1.2, Java 1.3, Linux

Any ideas?

Thanks,

So if you change that tot 8081 then the next time you start it is back to 8080?

The file that should be changed is in:

servoy-dir/server/conf/server.xml

does the user that runs servoy has write access to that file?
if you update property is that file being modified?

Yes. And as this is one of teh setting which is only effectual after a restart, that’s not much help.

No, servoy is being run by a different user to the one which installed servoy on the system (neither being the root user).

If I edit that file all seems to be well.

Thanks,
