Changing port number

Q&A Forum › Category: ESP8266 › Changing port number

Arthur Spurr asked 6 years ago

The default webserver port is 80 so what code change is necessary to use a different port.

Changing the port number in the server code segment below makes the IP address unavailable

// Set web server port number to 80
WiFiServer server(80);

Can anyone advise how the port number can be changed.

Thanks

Since posting the above I have looked further on Github and it seems this is not a simple matter, but would appreciate knowing if anyone has attempted this.

Hi
enter
WiFiServer server(89); //whatever other port you wish

Also add port to IP address in URL in Internet Explorer
http://192.168.1.26:89
you can use port 80 and run wampserver on port 80 aswell
