Change Port, Server Name or Protocol

 This utility helps with updating the web.config's required by 3 scenarios.

1. Change Port: You need to run the FileHold Server Application on a non standard port (not Port 80)
2. Change Server Name: You need to change the FileHold Server name - which will cause the FileHold server to stop functioning.
3. Change Protocol from HTTP to HTTPS: You will first need to follow this procedure to properly implement an SSL certificate

FileHold is not responsible for any changes you make that cause the system to stop functioning.

• Contact FileHold Support if you wish to have assistance with these tasks, we require this to be scheduled a few days in advance, and for this configuration change request to be approved by FileHold personnel in writing.

Change Server Port

1. To change the server port requires you to have an understanding of IIS 7.X web server administration using the IIS Admin management application. This involves switching the port used by the web site and following this process.
   • Open Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
   • Select the Web site that you wish to configure.
   • In the Action pane, click Bindings.
   • Click Add to add a new site binding, or click Edit to change an existing binding.
   • Click OK to apply the changes.

• Run the Utility to Change Server Port, then browse for the Application Server folder, and then click Next

• Click Next to see the list of all web.config's that will be updated - then click Update
• Restart WWW service to complete this task

Then test FileHold by logging with Web Client and Desktop Client  - You will need to adjust your login URL from http://YOURSERVERNAME/FH/FileHold/WebClient/LoginForm.aspx to include the port number after YOURSERVERNAME.

http://YOURSERVERNAME:82/FH/FileHold/WebClient/LoginForm.aspx

Is an example using Port 82.

Desktop Client URL is shorter, and would be http://YOURSERVERNAME:82/FH/FileHold/

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Change Server Name

• This can be as easy as changing the server name, rebooting, and then running this tool. However, MS SQL Server may not like having a new name. and refuse to run, usually due to your Windows System ID's, Network service accounts and other system functions may stop functioning.
• This procedure should not be done for trivial reasons. If FileHold functionality fails, FileHold will charge for time spent on helping resolve the issue.

Change Protocol

•  If you wish to enable SSL please refer to this procedure.
• Upon completion of that procedure, you can then run this tool and update the web.configs
• Upon completion, restart WWW service and change Desktop Client Connection URL and Web Client Login URL from to https from http.
