Newbies mrtestarossa Posted June 29, 2005 Newbies Posted June 29, 2005 Hi, I've battled through upgrading from FMserver 5.5 to FM server 7 Advanced. With a lot of trawling through the great info here, I have it all up and runing well now. It's currently serving databases to the web via the default port 80, however I want to change that to another port to reduce our chances of being hacked. We're using OSX and a G4 with versin 7.03 of Filemaker server advanced. I understand that the address we type in to access the data when outside the office will change from something like: mail.macrorecruitment.com/fmi/iwp to mail.macrorecruitment.com/fmi/iwp:10100 with 10100 being a new port number. We had this working well with server 5.5, so the router side of it is fine. My question is, how do we change the port? I've tried opening the files to be shared in FM7 and turned on IWP and set the port number in the advanced button, but it didn't work. I changed the Apache config file from listening on 8080 to listening on port 10100 but that hasn't worked either. I had the OSx firewall turned on, but tried opening a port and even turning it off with no luck. The router has port 10100 opened and is forwarding traffic to the correct IP address. Any ideas anyone? Thanks very much.
