Unfi fighting me today

[SimpleSi]

Trying to install unifi software on a server and getting the port 8080 in use error

No problem I thought, just change port numbers in system.properties - problem is- there is no system.properties file

Can't kill the process using 8080 as it's not my server/network and I'm just adding WiFi.

Tried using the network discovery chrome app. Still no system.properties file.

Tried my own hand built version, start up still fails talking about 8080 in use.

 

I feel I'm in Catch22

Can you not just use a computer somewhere and then move it to the server once it's set up and you can adjust the necessary ports? Even if you backup restore?

 

The console doesn't need to be running all time unless you have a need for it, I used to just run it on my desktop as and when I needed to make a change.

Tried that one but couldn't seem to install Java

But I finally sinned - 8080 being used by sims doc server - just stopped it- ran unfi-stopped unfi-edited system.properties to new port numbers and restarted it and sims doc server

I'll just plead it wasn't me!
