Custom port does not take effect with a new installation

[ryanhallinger]

Running a new hestiacp installation with sudo bash hst-install.sh --apache yes --phpfpm yes --multiphp no --vsftpd no --proftpd no --named no --mysql yes --postgresql no --exim no --dovecot no --sieve no --clamav no --spamassassin no --quota yes --api no --interactive yes --with-debs no --port 8443 --hostname {hestiacp.domain.com} --email {email-address} --password {passphrase} --lang en --force, the custom port does not take effect. There are firewall rules for port 8443.

The /usr/local/hestia/nginx/conf/nginx.conf still has displays:

 server {
        listen          8083 ssl;
        server_name     _;
        root            /usr/local/hestia/web;

Changing listen 8083 ssl; to listen 8443 ssl; and restarting hestiacp makes no difference. Similarly running v-change-sys-port 8443 returns:

When the command is run as root, it returns v-change-sys-port: command not found

The control panel is accessible when using port 8083.

sudo /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-change-sys-port

–port 8443

Port 8443 is allready in use by Apache2. So can’t be used again

Also make sure you run the command by root or with sudo command

[ryanhallinger]

Thanks @eris. Can any of the following ports be used?

• 2053
• 2083
• 2087
• 2096

[eris]

2083 should be fine

[ryanhallinger]

Thanks @potap. It may be helpful for others if /usr/local/hestia/bin/v-change-sys-port is added to the documentation in case they run into a similar issue.

Thanks @eris. Be great if the installation presented back a message to change the port if it’s already in use e.g. 8443. Happy to raise it a feature request if it helps.
