Port "problem" |
Mon, Feb 13 2006 2:40 PM | Permanent Link |
Aage Johansen | We are using the standard 12005, but some customers have been reluctant to open this port (or ask their admin to do this). Could we just as well have chosen port 80? No problems? Are there negatives to opening 12005? I don't know what is the biggest problem: persuading new customers to use 12005 or have all old customers switch to a new port (or just agreeing on a new port number!). What are you doing? Any comments from your customers? Do you use 12005 and persuade customers to use it? TiA Aage J. |

> Could we just as well have chosen port 80? No problems? You can use port 80 so long as there is no web server on the same machine. If there is, one server will block the other. Eryk |

I don't understand why port 12005 is a problem (and I would stay far away from any of the standard ports) A port itself does nothing unless there is a "listener" for the port In any SME you would be surprised just how many ports need to be be open for applications Sell your software advising that Port 12005/6 is required for the database server, there is no technical reason for them to be shy nor for any network admin to reject it gF |

<< Could we just as well have chosen port 80? No problems? Are there negatives to opening 12005? >> I would strongly advise against using any standard port number. Port 12005 is registered with iana.org as a DBISAM database server port. -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |
