Changing the EM Web Service port

Enterprise Manager (EM), formerly known as Enterprise System Manager (ESM), uses Apache to provide the underlying web server.

During initial install a graphical dialogue will allow you to change your port numbers.

If you’ve already installed the application you may wish to perform this change manually.

The first step to manual editing is to find the location of the config file where the port numbers are held. This depends on both the platform (operating system) and version of the Web Service you have installed. The default installation location for the configuration file httpd.conf is as follows:

Windows:

  • HTTP:
    • C:\Program Files\exacqVision\EnterpriseManager\apache\conf\https.conf
  • HTTPS:
    • C:\Program Files\exacqVision\EnterpriseManager\apache\extra\httpd-ssl.conf

Linux:

  • HTTP:
    • /usr/local/exacq/em/apache/conf/httpd.conf
  • HTTPS:
    • /usr/local/exacq/em/apache/conf/extra/httpd-ssl.conf

Determine where this file is for your install before continuing.

Once you have found the file, open it using your editor of choice (be sure to do so with administrative privileges) and perform either of the following depending on its name:

For httpd.conf (HTTP port) and httpd-ssl.conf (HTTPS port):

  1. Find the Listen directive in the file
    • For example, if the current port is 80, the line should read Listen 80
  2. Modify the port number as desired
  3. Save the file and restart the following services:
    • ExacqVision Enterprise Manager Apache
    • ExacqVision Enterprise Manager Web Service
