Modifying the administration screen port number

The main Server Administration screen is accessed through a browser, and displays its information through the default port number 5054. If port number 5054 is already assigned to another application, or for some other reason, you can change the default port number.

If a Windows service is used for the startup (Windows), the port number can be changed in the Service settings. For more information, see Stopping the Windows service.

1.      Shut down the Vectorworks server software. See Shutting down the RLM server.

2.Open the Command prompt (Windows) or the Terminal (on Mac).

3.Navigate to the Vectorworks Site Protection Server folder on Windows, or on Mac, the /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.vectorworks.rlm location.

4.Enter the following startup option command, and then press Enter to restart the RLM server with the new port name:

Windows: rlm.exe -ws nnnn (where nnnn is the port number)

Mac:  ./rlm -ws nnnn (where nnnn is the port number)

This startup option must be specified every time the server is launched.
