Ports in VDS

[former_member198652]

Dear experts,

I have few doubts regarding ports in VDS. Can you please guide me.

1. How to find what are the ports used and free ones.

2.How to change port number, if it is already set for the service. For example I created xml file and set the Port number, how to modify.

3. If a configeration file is deleted without stopping the service on port, how to stop that service and use that port.

Thank in Advance.

Warm Regards,

Jaya

Jaya,

Ports are configurable for each VDS configuration.  Note that like all IP related applications, each VDS setup can only use one port at at time.  Default is 389.

I typically use 389 if there's no other LDAP software setup, other wise, 1389 or something in the 700x range.

To change the port, load your configuration and navigate down the tree to Deployments, LDAP deployments / main_listener.  You'll see the Port number option in the Deployment tab.

Note you will need to either stop and start the configuration or click the update button to have the change take affect.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

On Windows, via Administrative Tools \ Services..

(on rare occasions) I've used "Sc delete" from command line to remove the services. As it removes the Windows service you can also remove dispatchers if needed.

Hi Tero,

for removing the service in cmd prompt, it suppose to show in services.

But no service, which is configured in VDS is showing in service.

Can you help me how to find the service.

Many Thanks,

Jaya

Hi Jaya,

did you start the VDS admin console as administrator? The console is not able to create/mod/remove windows services if not started as administrator.

Hi Norman,

I start VDS admin console as Administrator.

The issue is already we have configured webservice in VDS, without stopping the service we deleted the xml. so we need to stop/service that service. Can you please suggest me on this.

Warm Regards,

Jaya

Hi Jaya,

now I see what you are saying, the services are not there. You did not start the VDS as a service at all. If the VDS is not started as a service it is only a Java process running in the name of the user logged on. Means you either just log off with the user who started it or you kill the Java process.

You can use process explorer to find out which Java process is the VDS.

Jaya, if you double click on the Virtual Directory Server node in your configuration you can see if the configuration is running as an application or a Service.  You will probably want to double check the services.msc configuration if you're running Windows (don't remember how to do this in Linux.
