Changing the port number of the installation server

Applies to:

You can change the port number of the OpenPages® installation server. This task is optional.

Procedure

Log on to the computer where you set up the installation server.
If the installation server is running, stop it.
On Windows:
- Stop the ibmopenpagesinstaller<version>.exe service.
- Or, go to the <installation_server_home> directory of the installation server that you want to stop. Open a command prompt as an administrator, and then run the following command:
```
npm run stop
```
On Linux®:
1. Open a shell and go to the <installation_server_home> directory of the installation server that you want to stop, for example /home/opuser/IBM/OPInstall/OP_<version>_Installer.
2. Run the following command:
```
npm run stop
```
Create a .env file to set the port number.
1. Create a new file and add the following line:
```
INSTALLER_PORT=<port_number>
```
  Example:
```
INSTALLER_PORT=9091
```
2. Save the file in the <installation_server_home> directory. Name the file .env.
  
  Example: C:\IBM\OPInstall\OP_<version>_Installer /.env
Start the installation server.
Windows
Do one of the following steps:
- Start the ibmopenpagesinstaller<version>.exe service.
- Go to the <installation_server_home> directory. For example C:\IBM\OPInstall\OP_<version>_Installer. Right-click the startup.bat file and click Run As Administrator.
  Note: If you do not see the startup.bat script, you can also find it and run it from the <installation_server_home>\install\Windows directory.
Linux
1. Open a shell and go to the <installation_server_home> directory, for example /home/opuser/IBM/OPInstall/OP_<version>_Installer.
2. Run the following command:
  ./startup.sh
  
  Note: If you do not see the startup.sh script, you can also find it and run it from the <installation_server_home>/install/Linux directory.

Results

The port number of the installation server is updated. Use the new port number when you log on to the installation app: https://<host>:<port_number>.
