Symptoms:

This is an informational KB article. groov Server for Windows is behaving correctly.
If you configured groov Server for Windows to run on a custom SSL port, you may notice it running on the default port 443 after upgrading to R4.5a or higher.

Resolution:

To change the port, you need to use the following format when connecting to groov Server: https://localhost:port where port is the new port number. For example, if the new port number is 888, then you enter https://localhost:888. To change the SSL port, follow these steps:

In Notepad or a similar program, open the start.ini file installed on the groov Server computer:
1. Find the file in the directory where groov Server was installed (C:\Program Files (x86)\Opto22\groov\app\start.ini by default).
2. You need administrator rights to edit the start.ini file.
3. If you encounter issues editing the file directly from the directory, you may want to copy the start.ini file to another location (such as the Desktop), make the changes in that copy, and then copy it back to the directory.

Scroll through the file until you find the following section:

 ## Connector host/address to bind to. On Windows we listen on all interfaces. jetty.ssl.host=0.0.0.0 jetty.ssl.port=443

Change only the port number.
Save and close the file.
Restart groov Server:
1. Open the Windows Control Panel and click Administrative Services.
2. Select groov Server.
3. Click Restart.
