Changing the Port Admin Tools Service Uses

Admin Tools for ArcGIS leverages port 9180 by default. If another application on your machine already leverages that port, you may need to change the port and run as a second service. To change the port:

1. Temporarily stop the Admin Tools 2.0 service if it is running.
   
   

2. In the AdminTools base directory, open the web.config file and find the line below:
   <action type="Rewrite" url="http://localhost:9180/{R:1}" />
   Edit the port number in this line to the new port you will use for Admin Tools ( in this case, 9181 ):
   <action type="Rewrite" url="http://localhost:9181/{R:1}" />
   
   

3. Save this file and exit your text editor. and close the web.config file.
   
   

4. In the AdminTools/app-server/config directory, open the nodeconfig.json file, and find the “port” property. Here, update the port to the same one you used in Step 2.
   
   For example, we changed our port to 9181, so
   "port": 9180,
   becomes
   "port": 9181,
   
   

5. Save and close nodeconfig.json.
   
   

6. Restart the service ( or use AdminTools/installs/install_server.bat to create the service if you have not already ).
