Changing the Distributor Service Port on the Distributor Server
If you change the Distributor Service port on the company server, you must also change it on each distributor
service.
The paths in the following steps assume you have installed the Admin Console and the Update Distributors in
the default location: “C:\Program Files\Webroot.” If you have installed any of them to a different directory,
substitute the correct root in the specified path.
To change the Distributor Service port on the distributor server:
1. On the distributor server, stop the Webroot Update Distributor Service.
2. For backup purposes, rename the following file on the distributor server:
“C:\Program Files\Webroot\SME\Server\WebServer\conf\
WebrootUpdateDistributor.conf”
3. From your company server, copy the file “C:\Program Files\Webroot\SME\Server
\WebServer \conf\WebrootUpdateDistributor.conf” to the distributor server.
4. Restart the Webroot Update Distributor Service.
5. To test that the correct port is open, open a browser and try the following URLs:
http://<distributor_machine_name>:<non_ssl_port>/Distributor/servlet/
UpdateReplicator
https://<distributor_machine_name>:<ssl_port>/Distributor/servlet/
UpdateReplicator
You should get an empty page as a response.
Trying the same URLs with the incorrect port yields a failure to connect to server error, which will be
treated in various ways by your browser, such as navigating to a search page.
