Introduction
What
would you do if you needed to turn off direct web service mode,
or change the direct web service port number, because every time
you started Web Crossing you found it was conflicting with an
already existing service, such as an Apache web server? How would
you get in to your Web Crossing server to make the change if merely
attempting to start the server caused a conflict?
There
are many reasons you might want to override the default settings
of your Web Crossing server, including wanting to change your
Images directory location, or adjusting your port
or IP address to avoid conflicts between all the services that
Web Crossing provides with services that might already be running
on your Unix server (and to a lesser extent on your Windows or
Mac server).
The
solution to this problem is Web Crossing's external settings file
- webx.set.
When
you first start your Web Crossing server, your webx.set
file is created for you, using the default settings according
to the installation you chose. If you should accidently delete
your webx.set file for some reason do not be concerned.
The next time you start your Web Crossing server it will be created
automaticaly using the current settings stored in your
Web Crossing database.
In other
words, webx.set is not an absolutely required settings
file. It is there for your convenience. Every time you make a
change in your Web Crossing settings, the changes are written
to webx.set.
In addition,
if you stop the Web Crossing server, make a manual change to a
setting in webx.set and then restart Web Crossing, the
settings in webx.set override the settings stored in the
Web Crossing database. This allows you to make changes, such as
changing a port number, without needing access to the Control
Panel (which may be difficult if you are experiencing port
number
conflicts).

Note:
The webx.set file replaces the old webPort
file, which did the same thing, but only for the web port
setting.
