Using a Port Number Less Than 1024

Port numbers below 1024 are reserved for system use. To use one of these numbers (for example, port number 80) for the AnswerBook2 server, perform the following steps:

1. Either use the Modify Configuration Settings function in the Admin GUI or edit the /usr/lib/ab2/dweb/data/config/dwhttpd.cfg file and change the following line:

   set ServerPort 8888

   To this:

   set ServerPort 80

2. Edit the /usr/lib/ab2/dweb/data/config/nsapi.cfg file and change the following line:

   set ServerPort 8888

   To this:

   set ServerPort 80

3. Edit the /etc/init.d/ab2mgr file and change the following line:

   su daemon -c "LD_PRELOAD=$pre_load;LANG=$LNG;AB2_ORIG_LANG=$ORGLNG;LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBP;EBT_REGISTRY=$ER;export LD_PRELOAD LD_LIBRARY_PATH LANG AB2_ORIG_LANG LC_ALL EBT_REGISTRY; $AB2BIN/dwhttpd $AB2CFG > /dev/null"

   To this:

   su root -c "LD_PRELOAD=$pre_load;LANG=$LNG;AB2_ORIG_LANG=$ORGLNG;LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBP;EBT_REGISTRY=$ER;export LD_PRELOAD LD_LIBRARY_PATH LANG AB2_ORIG_LANG LC_ALL EBT_REGISTRY; $AB2BIN/dwhttpd $AB2CFG > /dev/null"

   This allows the parent dwhttpd process to run as root, which can then use port 80. Note that the child dwhttpd process still runs as daemon.
