changing ssl port used for default site

[proudusa]

I'm installing apache on the SBS server and will need SSL to run on port 443. Can i just change the ssl port on the default site to something different?

Thanks

Yes, you should be able to do that. You'll just have to remember to add the alternate port number to any URL you provide to users.

HTTPS://host.yourdomain.com:447/exchange

or something similar.

Tested it after i posted and it worked but seems to still be listening on 443. Will try a reboot tonight and see what happens.

You don't need to reboot. Just stop and start the virtual server. Or, if you want, do an "iisreset" at the command-line.

Had restarted the the default site. Would there be anywhere else where the port would be set?

Thanks

Well, where exactly did you set it? On the General tab after getting Properties on the Default Web Site?

I guess if that's not really changing it, you can download MetaEdit and change it in the metabase:

Look for LM-W3SVC-1 (I believe) and then SecureBindings. Change the port number there.

Yeah on the general tab. Just checked and it is listed as the changed port. I reinstalled apache & openssl and now seems to be working properly. Now it is a matter of getting the application i need installed and working.
