Port

Installation
1

Hi folks,

Gibbon works just fine using the standard port 80.

However,
with different ports, e.g. 88 Gibbon does to work well, e.g. sub menu links lack port information and therefore don’t link and images are not always displayed, e.g. the star in the header.

Any workaround or ideas?

Kind regards,
Roman

Roman,

When you changed the port, did you also change the install location in gibbonSetting in your database? The setting is called absolutePath. It is also settable in Admin > System Admin, but you may not be able to access it now that you have changed the port.

If you installed on port 88 to start with, it should work fine, as the installer should recognise the port.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Ross

Hi Ross,

I did a new installation of Gibbon on port 88. I think ports are not recognized by the installer script. It may be a little bug…

Kind regards,

Roman,

You are right, it is a bug. If I install on http://localhost:88/core, when I get to Step 3, the Absolute URL comes up as http://localhost/core, with the :88 removed. You could manually add the port in by hand at this point, but we have also issues a patch in the v12 dev branch, which should be backwards compatible with v11. You can see it at the commit linked below:

Thanks,
