change omero development web server port?

[dvera]

Anyone know how may I change the port from which the development web server (django web server) accepts connections from 4080 to 80?

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

I don't believe that option exists currently for

Code: Select all

$ bin/omero web start

.

However, you could try running the web server "manually", in which case you can specify the port:

For OMERO 5:

Code: Select all

$ cd lib/python/OmeroWeb
$ python omeroweb/manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80


or OMERO 4:

Code: Select all

$ cd lib/python/OmeroWeb/omeroweb
$ python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:80


Hope that helps,

Will.

Hi Dan,
Either Will's command or using:

Code: Select all

bin/omero config set omero.web.application_server.port 80
bin/omero web start


should do the trick, but note that running on port 80 will require admin privileges in most cases:

Code: Select all

...

Django version 1.6, using settings 'omeroweb.settings'
Starting development server at http://0.0.0.0:80/
Quit the server with CONTROL-C.
Error: You don't have permission to access that port.

Thanks all.

That's right, it won't let me use port 80 without admin privs. Apart from not working, running with sudo I'm assuming is not recommended. I will use another web server to achieve this.

Thank again!
