Changing the port number of the dashboard service

In this guide, we'll show you how to change the port for the Intuitive Dashboards from port 80 to a port of your choice

Firstly, stop the Intuitive Dashboards service via Services.

Then open the "Dashboard.config" file under the below default path in a text editor of your choice, and navigate to line 49.

Default path for Dashboard.config = C:\Program Files\Intuitive Business Intelligence\Intuitive Dashboards\Server

The default entry will look as follows:-

<BaseAddress  UseSSL="False" SupplyCrossPolicy="false" />

To specify a port number different from 80 you can insert the port number into the entry as follows.  We will set the port number to be 8080

<BaseAddress UseSSL="False" PortNumber="8080" SupplyCrossPolicy="false" />

Once you've made your change save the file.

The port number of your website on IIS will also need to be altered to match this, and by right clicking on your website and going to "Edit Bindings", then "Edit", you can change the port number here to match the one set in the dashboard config file.

Once that change has been made, restart your website in IIS and restart the dashboard service. Test that you can reach the dashboard website and login to ensure it's running over your desired port.
