SharePlex Manager: Using non-standard web services port (4299409)

You want to change the port of the web services from 3000 to a 5 digit value like 43000. Although the installer accepts this value, after the install the SharePlex Manager cartridge can't be enabled.

The SharePlex Manager installer requires that the port number be 4 digits for the SharePlex Web Services.

Resolution:

Update to SharePlex Manager 1.2 which includes a fix for this issue.The latest version of SharePlex Manager 1.2 can be downloaded at: http://support.quest.com/support_download/Downloads.asp

Workaround:
Enter a 4-digit port number for SharePlex Web Services during Installation
=============================================================================
1) While installing SharePlex Manager, enter a 4-digit port number for SharePlex Web Services.  
2) Do not have the installer start the web services during part of the installation process.
3) Start the Foglight Server
4) Using a web browser, browse to the Foglight Server's JMX Console (http://10.1.2.3:8080/jmx-console) if the Foglight server is running on port 8080 on machine 10.1.2.3
5) Enter foglight/foglight for the username and password
6)   Scroll down to the "halogen.agent" service=HalogenService object (you can search for "service=HalogenService')
7) Click on "service=HalogenService"   The MBean view for the HalogenService MBean will be displayed.
8) In the list of MBean Attributes, find the "SharePlexAdapterUrl" item.   Its value should be something like "http://localhost:3000" where 3000 is the value for the SharePlex Web Services port entered during installation.
9) Modify 3000 to be the port you want the SharePlex Web Services to run on (i.e 43000).
10) Click the "Apply Changes" button located below SharePlexAdapterUrl.
11) You can close your browser now.
12) Modify the web-services file located in the WebServices/.app-modules directory.   The value for PORT should be the port number you want to use.
13) Now manually start SharePlex Web Services by entering "web-services start" in the SharePlexManager/WebServices/bin directory.   The Web Services should start on the port you specified in the .app-modules/web-services file.   If you didn't modify the .app-modules/web-services file, you can start SharePlex Web Services using "web-services start -p Xxxxx" where Xxxxx is the port number you want to use.
14) Verify that the Web Services has successfully started by using a web browser to go to address   "http://10.1.2.3:Xxxxx" where 10.1.2.3   is the machine that Foglight is running on and Xxxxx is the port number you entered in step 9 above.
15) If Web Services successfully started, you will see the SharePlex Web Services home screen.

You can also specify the port the adaptor should use when it's started by specifying the -p option (i.e. -p 43000 on the ./web-services start command).
