Configuration Checklist

A Civic Platform installation can use all the configuration settings from a prior Civic Platform instance as is, or use the configuration settings that you modify from a prior Civic Platform instance. You can also enter configuration settings manually, without using configuration settings from a prior installation.

Civic Platform Component Configuration Parameters lists the configuration parameters for Civic Platform components, along with example values and a space to write in your own values. Review this list and prepare your modifications or new values, before you run the installer.

Note:
  • Port Bind Base is the base number for all other ports except HTTP and HTTPS ports. The value should typically be a single-digit or double-digit between 1~65 (such as 2, 3, etc.), and becomes the ‘thousands’ prefix for all other pre-defined values. The ‘Port Bind Base’ concept applies to the setup of other Accela products. Each Accela product if installed on the same server should have a unique base.
  • If the server is on the same host as the application server, they have the same IP address, use a different HTTP port number and HTTPS port number from the ones used for the application server (Setting Up Multiple-Homed Servers).
  • Application server clients specify port 3080 as the default port for communicating with the application server. Reserve Wildfly binding port base 3 for the application server.
  • Use unique port numbers for multiple Tomcat instances.
  • Accela Mobile Gateway can support multiple application servers. Each supported application server uses a different port.
