Changing the Access Port for a Website
By default, the server uses port 80 for connections to websites on your server. You
might need to change the port used for an individual website (for example, if you
want to set up a streaming server on port 80).
Make sure the number you choose does not conict with ports being used on the
server (for FTP, Apple File Service, SMTP, and others). If you change the port number for
a website you must change all URLs that point to the web server to include the new
port number you choose.
Note: If you turn SSL on for a site, the port for that site is changed to 443. If you turn
SSL o, the port changes to 80, regardless of what it was previously. A message on the
screen alerts you to the port change when you turn o SSL.
To set the port for a website:
1 Open Server Admin and connect to the server.

WARNING: Do not try to access the server through the direct ports. Instead, allow
your access to be proxied through Apache as it is set up. For instance, Server Admin
provides no obvious way to congure wikis and will return an xmlrpc error. Do not
access the wiki server on port 8086 or 8087.
