Web Interface

This document contains information about how to install, configure and run the Web Interface application.

This document is also available as Readme.txt file:

<Installation_DIR>\Commit\WebInterface\Readme.txt

Note: "<Installation_DIR>" refers to the path on the server (drive and directory) where the Commit server files are installed.

General Settings and Configuration

Setting the Port

Commit Web Interface communicates with users/browsers through a port.

In order for the service to use the port, it should be set up in the Web Interface properties file. This port should not be in use by any other application or service.

Commit's default configuration uses Port 4961.

To change the port number, edit the file <Installation_DIR>\Commit\WebInterface\CommitWebInterface.ini and change the port under the token: 'ServerPort'

IMPORTANT NOTE:

If you use a firewall, proxy, etc. it is recommended that you open Port 4961 in order to allow a connection to be established with Commit Web Interface.

If this port is blocked by a firewall, a connection cannot be established.

Setting the Server IP or URL

Commit Web Interface uses a permanent IP address or URL. This IP/URL is the external Internet address of the computer on which Commit Web Interface is running.

You can set up the server IP or URL by editing the file <Installation_DIR>\Commit\WebInterface\CommitWebInterface.ini and changing the token: 'ServerIP' (e.g. ServerIP=212.140.210.143 or ServerIP=www.mydomainname.com).

Note that by default the Web Interface uses IP 127.0.0.1 (localhost), which means you can use the Web Interface on your local computer only.
