Changing port number on openHAB 2.0

Benjy · January 17, 2017, 12:24pm

Right, I have a test machine with Ubuntu 14 which will have the same service system. I should be able to test what’s going on in a couple of days and get back to you!

I did some more debuging and added this to both files.

echo "env: `export`" >> /tmp/oh_port.txt

from /etc/default/openhab2

export HOME='/root'
export LANG='de_BE.UTF-8'
export LOGNAME='root'
export LS_COLORS='rs=0:di=01;34:ln=01;36:mh=00:pi=40;33:so=01;35:do=01;35:bd=40;33;01:cd=40;33;01:or=40;31;01:su=37;41:sg=30;43:ca=30;41:tw=30;42:ow=34;42:st=37;44:ex=01;32:*.tar=01;31:*.tgz=01;31:[..]'
export MAIL='/var/mail/root'
export PATH='/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin'
export PWD='/home/cwempe'
export SHELL='/bin/bash'
export SUDO_COMMAND='/etc/init.d/openhab2 stop'
export SUDO_GID='1002'
export SUDO_UID='1001'
export SUDO_USER='cwempe'

export USERNAME='root'

from /usr/share/openhab2/runtime/bin/setenv

export EXTRA_JAVA_OPTS=''

Does this help?

I couldn’t get this to work, and so ended up changing the ports on my other application…

christoph_wempe · January 18, 2017, 12:53pm

I created an issue, because it seems to be a bug that should get fixed befor the final release.

EDIT: Created a new issue in the correct repository.

I am running OpenHub2 on windows 10 and was able to change the port to 80 by simply adding the following to the beggining of the start.bat file: set OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT=80

Kai_Mahnke · February 22, 2017, 2:09am

Running openHAB2 780 under Mac OS Sierra with the environment variable OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT set to 8888. env run in the terminal shows this value. SETENV does not recognize it and the change of the port only works when I change HTTP_PORT to 8888 in the script.

ryandetzel · February 22, 2017, 7:16pm

This worked on Ubuntu apt instal. I added OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT=8090 to that file and restarted.

Benjy · February 22, 2017, 8:24pm

I’m assuming that’s Ubuntu 16? Anything that doesn’t use sysVinit (most new versions of each distro) should work.

wolf_from_the_north · April 19, 2017, 9:06am

can confirm that this piece of documentation is still missing.
i am running the package on a synology and am trying to reconfigure the port in latest 2,1 0004 package i downloaded.

kindest regards

wolf_from_the_north · April 19, 2017, 9:09am

confirmed that the change needs to happen in the setenv file.
is there a fix allready for this ?
I had to edit following file to get this done

/volume1/@appstore/openHAB2/runtime/bin -->setenv

then changed the line from
if [ ! -z ${OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT} ]; then
HTTP_PORT=${OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT}
else
HTTP_PORT=8080

to

if [ ! -z ${OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT} ]; then
HTTP_PORT=${OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT}
else
HTTP_PORT=DESIRED PORT

rtvb · April 19, 2017, 5:53pm

Could we not just add the port to the /etc/default/openhab2 file?

PsyMan · April 20, 2017, 6:52pm

same, after a lot of hair pulling I managed to change McMyadmin to jump ports and free up 8080 for openHAB, on with the show

Benjy · May 28, 2017, 5:59pm

With the latest versions of the linux packages, this should now be the same across all systems. Editing the /etc/default/openhab2 file with the lines:

OPENHAB_HTTP_PORT=9090
OPENHAB_HTTPS_PORT=9091

will change the appropriate ports. Thanks @ralle for pushing this fix.

If it still doesn’t work as expected for some, let me know and I will work to resolve it.

dan12345 · May 30, 2017, 7:35am

Thank you! Although I switched my other applications and am running openHAB on default ports, so can’t test…

Todelec · June 12, 2017, 5:36am

Hi,
I installed latest stable openHab2 on RPi3 and successfully changed ports in /etc/default/openhab2 as mentioned above.

The problem I have is that voice control with HABDroid only seems to work when I use port 8080.

Is this a bug or do I have to change ports in additional files?

UPDATE:
Everything works with latest HABDroid from git-repo on S5mini

Mike_Klein · August 10, 2017, 6:05pm

have the latest version, not working for me to change the port to 80

running on an RPi

Benjy · August 10, 2017, 6:35pm

Port 80 is a restricted port, you’ll need to openhab with root privileges to use it.

It might be more beneficial to run a reverse proxy instead.

Mike_Klein · August 10, 2017, 7:20pm

thanks, it is working now, but still can’t pair Hue Emulator with Google Assistant

Kai · August 10, 2017, 7:33pm

Afaik, it does not work with Google Assistant, only with Google Home, see Google Home Integration.

Rar9 · August 11, 2017, 12:27am

Can some tell me how to get a fresh openhabian install to use port 80 with ngnix reverse proxy ?

Which file(s) need changing ?
