If you made any changes, you are prompted to save them, otherwise the window
closes.
Step 5 If prompted to save your changes, click one of the following:
• Yes to save your changes. The file saves and the window closes.
• No to discard your changes. The window closes.
• Cancel to return to the editing window, then refer to Step 3.
Step 6 To enable the change, stop and start the station and verify that it is running.
Step 7 Test the functionality of your new port by initiating a database conversion (refer to
the Administration Tool section of the TCP Student Guide for information on this
step). If you receive an error like the one shown in Figure 6-5, verify that you added
the httpPort line correctly.
Changing the
Administration
Port (3011)
As referenced in Table 6-1, the Admin Tool connects to a Niagara host on port 3011
for most administration functions. This port is also used by browser users to access
station administration pages. These include any page that references the default
administration (admin) port of 3011 (and which requires a host-based login), such as:
• http://<host_name>:3011
• http://<host_name>:3011/system/spy (JACE-4/5 only)
• http://<host_name>:3011/system/eventLog (JACE-4/5 only)
To change this administration port, you must add a line to the niagarad.properties file.
This file is located in
<current_release_directory>\nre\lib of any Niagara host
(you may have to create this file on Windows-based hosts).
Determining the Current Release Directory
Depending on the host platform, the location of the current release directory changes.
Use the following steps to determine the current release directory.
Procedure 6-3 Determining the current release directory of any Niagara host.
Step 1 Using the Admin Tool, open the host on which you want to make the port change.
