Hello Biplab,

You can find the configuration file in :

**C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\OpenForis\Collect\collect.properties**

Quit collect and then you can change the first line :

    collect.http_port=8380

Save and start again, you should have Collect running on the desired port!

> Thank you, that was a very helpful information but I would like to ask one more question. Is there any way that more than one port number to be assigned for OpenForis so that two or more instances of OpenForis can be run at the same time with different data for each port. (Biplab)
