Port error

On running the Pre-Update Change Report there may be an error relating to port conflicts with the Collab service:

Port 8443 for property bbconfig.appserver.https.portnumber conflicts with bbconfig.collabserver.portnumber.ssl.default. Configure a non-conflicting port, ideally the default value: 8443

If this issue occurs:

  1. Navigate to ..\blackboard\config\ and make a backup copy of bb-config.properties.
  2. Open bb-config.properties in a text editor such as vi or Notepad.
  3. Locate the collaboration server configuration settings section and change the portnumber.ssl.default to 8012

    bbconfig.collabserver.portnumber.ssl.default=8012

  4. Save the bb-config.properties file.
