We need to run XOOPS on a local Intranet Server that already is running IIS on port 80. We are currently running the XSAS version of XOOPS on another Server on port 80 also. We would like to place the XSAS/Xoops Server on the IIS box, but we will need to run it on another port.

When I try and change XOOPS to run on port 81, it XSAS starts up and I can reach the Apache server, but XOOPS never starts, nor will it serve up pages.

How can we get this to run on port 81?

Thanks

Browsers connect on ports 80 and 8080 by default for http connections. When using non-standard ports, you have to instruct your browser to connect to that port.

Example:
http://intranet.com:81

The :81 at the end of the URL instructs the browser to connect to port 81. If your XOOPS site is in a sub-folder, do not tag :81 at the end of the folder name. Append it to the domain name only. If you're not using domain names, the process is similar.

Example:
http://localhost:81/xoops

If XOOPS is in a sub-folder, it will look like this:
http://localhost:81/xoops

Hope this helps.
