Hi !I have quite happily run my http server on port 88 for years as I have a mail filtering application (SurfControl email filter) on the same server using port 80.
I have just loaded Traveler and I am not getting any joy from my client. I can go to the Traveler servlet from a browser using http://hostname.com.au:88/servlet/traveler
but obviously this is manually entering the port as 88.
Is there any way that I can get Traveler to look at port 88, rather than port 80 ? If I can’t do this I guess my options are to swap ports on my mail filtering application or to run this on a totally separate server ?
thanks.

You can have the Traveler client go to any port (such as 88).In the Configuration Wizard, this is an Advanced setting on the page that asks for your server.
When you are already using the server, it is a “Server Settings” change.
Both places change the same value, so if you do it in the Configuration Wizard, you don’t have to change it again after the configuration completes.

Can you further clarify where is the “Server Settings”, is it in the server document → Lotus Traveler → Port for TCP Connections?
I would like to change the port for Traveler as well because whenever i start the server, i get the following error >>

The “Server Settings” is on the device. Traveler doesn’t open port 80 - the HTTP task already has it. Traveler uses HTTP as the front end/authentication mechanism. The ports for Traveler are for 1) the IPC socket used between the HTTP servlet and the Traveler task and 2) the TCP socket for Traveler devices to connect to auto sync.So, port 80 is the HTTP server task and completely controlled by HTTP and HTTP’s settings.
On the device, you supply the HTTP information (such as port 80), so that if you change the HTTP settings on the server, you can change the HTTP settings on the device to connect to the server.
Thus, the Traveler task has nothing to do with port 80. That means something else is causing the conflict. It also looks like this is a similar problem to another post in this forum: HTTP down after installed Lotus Notes Traveler 8.0.1. Please read through that and see if that sounds like you are hitting the same problem/issue.
