Can I make DBabble run on port 80 together with existing web pages?
No. DBabble takes full control of the port it listens on and no other programs or web pages can share it. However, if you don’t have any existing web server on your DBabble server machine, then you can change the port setting to 80, and then users will be able to access your server using just the machine name. eg http://free.dbabble.com. However, some ISP’s like to modify any http requests going through their system on port 80, and do things that can stop the windows client from working properly. For example removing the connection:keep-alive header. To get around this, set the port setting to “80”, set the extra_ports setting to “8132”, and set the win_host_port setting to your domain name followed by a space followed by 8132. For example “free.dbabble.com 8132”. In this way, your server is referred to by default on port 80, but it also listens on port 8132, and the windows client downloads are automatically configured to connect to port 8132.
