Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get BOINC to run on a different port, etc? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks ID: 1631 ·

Thanks Port 80 has been assigned to Boinc (by ICANN, maybe), as have ports 1043 and 31416. "The arc of history is long, but it bends toward Justice" ID: 1633 ·

I wouldn't _think_ this would be a problem - I mean, your browser has to access port 80, and you can run a browser and a webserver! Is there a way to restrict BOINC's use of port 80 to 'outgoing' as if it were a browser? ID: 1636 ·

I run Apache on my PowerMac as a testbed for my old web site and some other things. No issues. BOINC works fine. When I start BOINC first, when I try to start my webserver it fails because of a JVM bind error (port in use). If I start my webserver first, then when I try to start BOINC it can't connect to localhost. It pops up a message saying "Password you have provided is incorrect". However, there is no admin password, and it works fine if the webserver isn't going. I assume this message is because of a similar bind issue, it just isn't caught low level and ends up generating that popup as a catch all. Any advice from anyone? ID: 1668 ·

If I start my webserver first, then when I try to start BOINC it can't connect to localhost. That would be port 1043... any way the webserver is grabbing _that_ port? ID: 1671 ·

Thanks for the heads up on that one. I finally have it working! ID: 1701 ·
