Enable/Disable HTTP or HTTPS

To enable HTTPS on windows edit the dbvserver.conf file in the DBVISIT_BASE/dbvserver/conf/ directory to include the line "servers = https" under the [master] section.

Example to enable HTTPS:

Update this section in the dbvserver.conf file:

...
[master]
      servers = http
  ### servers = https
      servers = scheduler
...

to look like this:

...
[master]
  ### servers = http
      servers = https
      servers = scheduler
...

To enable both HTTPS and HTTP ensure your master section look like this:

...
[master]
      servers = http
      servers = https
      servers = scheduler
...

Changing the Web Interface PORT number

The Dbvserver (GUI) default port numbers are:

HTTP - 8081

HTTPS - 8443

These ports can be changed by manually editing the dbvserver.conf file located in DBVISIT_BASE/dbvserver/conf directory.

The sections that will need adjustment is illustrated below:

[http]
    ### if bind_ip is missing or empty, Dbvserver will listen on all interfaces
bind_ip =
bind_port = 8081
...
...
bind_port_peer = 8081
...
...
 

[https]
    ### if bind_ip is missing or empty, Dbvserver will listen on all interfaces
bind_ip =
bind_port = 8443
...
...
bind_port_peer = 8443

If you want to adjust the HTTP port, then modify the default 8081 port to the new required port.  It is important that you update the bind_port_peer parameter as well to the port number used by the remote web based server.  The same process is followed if you want to update the HTTPS port.

Modify this section to the correct port number.
