Configuring the ListManager Web Server - tclhttpd.rc

The file ~listmanager/tclweb/bin/tclhttpd.rc contains the configuration information for the ListManager Web Server. The ListManager web server will be configured for you automatically during installation. If for some reason you need to change the configuration (for example, if you'd like to move the web interface to another port), edit ~ListManager/tclweb/bin/tclhttpd.rc with a plain-text editor.

The file contains notes about each setting and how to configure them. These settings are those that may need to be changed if you change the name of your server, the port it should listen to, or the TCP/IP address it uses.

Config host

The fully-qualified host name of this server.

Config port

The port the web server uses for HTTP requests. The default is 80. If you have another web server running on the same machine as ListManager, the installer will have moved the port (e.g., 81). If you change the port of the web server, be sure to change the URL to Web Interface in Utilities: Administration: Sites: Edit Site: Essentials.

Config ipaddr

The TCP/IP address used by the web server. By default, this is set to your host name. To force it to use only one IP address (for instance, if you are behind a firewall), enter that IP address here.

Tclport Connection Info

The following settings are used by the webserver to talk to ListManager. Changes to these settings may disable your web interface unless the same changes are made to the ListManager Config_ table.

Config tclport_ip

The TCP/IP address of your ListManager server. If the web interface is running on the same machine as ListManager, then this setting should be the TCP/IP address of your machine or 127.0.0.1.

However, there is no requirement that the web interface be on the same computer as the ListManager. If this is the case, then this parameter should point to the TCP/IP address of the ListManager you want to display.

By default, this setting should be "127.0.0.1", meaning that that the ListManager is on the same machine as this web interface. See Installing the Web Server on a Separate Machine for more information about having the web server on a separate machine.

Config tclport_port

The port number that should be used by the ListManager Web Server to talk to ListManager. This value is 2021 by default. If this value is changed, it must also be changed in ListManager by running

lm tclport number

See Setting Server Options for more information.

Config tclport_password

The login password used by the ListManager Web Server when connecting to ListManager. This value is TCLPORTPasswd by default. This password must be the same as the value in the ListManager Config_ table in order for the web interface to function. This is a security precaution so that unauthorized users cannot access the ListManager Web Server. If this value is changed, it must also be changed in ListManager by running

lm tclportpass password
