Ports

See which programs listen on which ports of your computer in HF Server, to solve "port already in use" problems.

The Ports page lists the programs listening for connections on your computer. Two programs can't share one port, so this is where you find out what is in the way when a server won't start.

Where: HF Server › Ports

Ports screen

The list

Column What it shows
Port the port number
Address the address it listens on (127.0.0.1 = this computer only)
Program the program's name; HF Server's own servers are marked HostFog
PID the program's process ID

Ports HF Server uses

Server Default port
Apache 80 (8080 on Linux)
Apache HTTPS 443 (8443 on Linux)
Nginx 8081
Nginx HTTPS 8444
MySQL 3306
PostgreSQL 5432
Redis 6379
Mail catcher (SMTP) 1025

Change any of them in Settings. Restart a server to use its new port.

Tip: "Port 80 is already in use" usually means another web server or program has it. Close it, or set Apache to 8080 and open http://localhost:8080.
