Setting the Port

By default, the Ignition server runs on port 8088. There are a variety of reasons why it might be necessary to change this, such as the port already being used by another application, or the desire to run on a more "user-friendly" port, such as 80.

The port can only be set through the Gateway Control Utility. It cannot be changed from the gateway configuration portal.

If the port is already in use, the Ignition gateway will not be allowed to start. In this case, the Gateway Control Utility may be used from the server machine to select a different port for the server.
