I have learned that Windows 7 uses some ports that are default in xammp. In my case, mercury mail is affected. Rather than change the default ports for the system, I have sought to change the ports assigned to mercury. I am trying to set it up to work locally, btw.
This is the port allocation for mercury (before I change the ports) via port-check with mercury running as a service:
- Code: Select all
smtp 25 free
pop3 110 free
imap 143 Process: System
http 2224 Process: System
Finger 79 free
PH 105 free
PopPass 106 Process: System
So I changed the ports for imap and http in mercury.ini to 8888 and 8889 respectively. I stop and restart mercury and try port-check again and this time I get:
- Code: Select all
smtp 25 free
pop3 110 free
imap 143 free
http 2224 free
Finger 79 free
PH 105 free
PopPass 106 free
What do I need to do to get unused ports assigned to mercury, specifically imap, http and PopPass?
Please!!!
Thanks!
