Made a mistake changing http/https ports and now gateway will not start

Below is the wrapper logs...I think I know what the issue is, but I don't know how to fix it. I used 443 and 80 for the https/http port respectively...not thinking about other processes (stupid, I know). I don't really know HOW to fix it, though?

Some other service is using the standard ports. Another Ignition instance, perhaps? IIS on Windows?

4

I've tried those, but they don't work. I get a "no response from the gateway" message.

5

It was IIS...I was certain I disabled that and it looks like I was wrong. Thank you for making me double check!

I realize this thread is a bit old. However, I have a similar problem. I have an application that is running on port 8088 that I would prefer to not shut down (others are using it) and would like to determine if there is a method to change ports without the gateway running.

I have looked through some of Inductive’s manuals and videos and seem to be missing where this could be done. The gateway in question is being run on a remote linux machine with no GUI.

7

Use the gwcmd command line utility.

8

Similar to cwkidd, when I attempt to use the gwcmd utility when the gateway is down, because it can’t bind the port, it just says no response from the gateway.

I am looking for a way to change the port that the gateway is attempting to bind without the gateway being run. Is this just not possible?

You can edit the gateway.xml file at $IGNITION/data/gateway.xml if the Gateway isn't running and you can't use the gwcmd util.
