7.3.1 Changing port numbers

Express uses the following four port numbers.

port number	service name	protocol	Note
9853	esfexpressmgr	tcp	Express Manager service
9855	esfexpressweb	tcp	Express Web GUI service
4917	sscruisera	tcp	Port number used inside Express
23456	nfport	tcp	Port number used inside Express

Those port numbers are defined in the services file of the system.

Take the following procedure to change the port numbers used by Express.

1. Open the file "%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\services" with a notepad.

2. Pick out the entry of a service name to be changed to change its entry port number.
   A port number can be entered between 1024 and 65535. However, if you want to change a port number, a number from 5001 or more to 32768 or less is recommended.

   # <service name>  <port number>/<protocol>  [aliases...]   [#<comment>]
   #
   esfexpressmgr  9853/tcp
   esfexpressweb  9855/tcp
   nfport         23456/tcp
   sscruisera     4917/tcp

3. Save the "%SystemRoot%\system32\drivers\etc\services" file to close.

   2. Change the port number listed immediately after the Listen directive.

   3. Save the "$INS_DIR\Express\Manager\sys\apache\conf\httpd.conf" file and close it.
