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? ```python INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: Encountered an error running main: INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: java.io.IOException: Failed to bind to 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0:443 INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at org.eclipse.jetty.server.ServerConnector.openAcceptChannel(ServerConnector.java:344) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at org.eclipse.jetty.server.ServerConnector.open(ServerConnector.java:304) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server.lambda$doStart$0(Server.java:402) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/java.util.stream.ForEachOps$ForEachOp$OfRef.accept(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/java.util.stream.ReferencePipeline$3$1.accept(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/java.util.stream.ReferencePipeline$2$1.accept(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/java.util.Spliterators$ArraySpliterator.forEachRemaining(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/java.util.stream.AbstractPipeline.copyInto(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/java.util.stream.AbstractPipeline.wrapAndCopyInto(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/java.util.stream.ForEachOps$ForEachOp.evaluateSequential(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/java.util.stream.ForEachOps$ForEachOp$OfRef.evaluateSequential(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/java.util.stream.AbstractPipeline.evaluate(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/java.util.stream.ReferencePipeline.forEach(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at org.eclipse.jetty.server.Server.doStart(Server.java:398) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at org.eclipse.jetty.util.component.AbstractLifeCycle.start(AbstractLifeCycle.java:93) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at com.inductiveautomation.catapult.IgnitionServer.start(IgnitionServer.java:1281) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.web.WebResourceManagerImpl.start(WebResourceManagerImpl.java:353) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.IgnitionGateway.start(IgnitionGateway.java:576) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at com.inductiveautomation.ignition.gateway.IgnitionGateway.main(IgnitionGateway.java:303) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at com.inductiveautomation.catapult.Catapult.main(Catapult.java:8) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/jdk.internal.reflect.DelegatingMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/java.lang.reflect.Method.invoke(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at org.tanukisoftware.wrapper.WrapperSimpleApp.run(WrapperSimpleApp.java:349) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/java.lang.Thread.run(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: Caused by: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: bind INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/sun.nio.ch.Net.bind0(Native Method) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/sun.nio.ch.Net.bind(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/sun.nio.ch.ServerSocketChannelImpl.netBind(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at java.base/sun.nio.ch.ServerSocketChannelImpl.bind(Unknown Source) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: at org.eclipse.jetty.server.ServerConnector.openAcceptChannel(ServerConnector.java:339) INFO | jvm 1 | 2024/05/29 14:17:58 | WrapperSimpleApp Error: ... 25 more STATUS | wrapper | 2024/05/29 14:18:01 | <-- Wrapper Stopped ``` ---

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

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. ---

Use the `gwcmd` command line utility. ---

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.
