I'd like to reserve port 80 on my server for a reverse proxy that Alteryx Server would sit behind. Anything off the box could still connect using 80, but locally I'd like to configure it to use something else. Is this possible?
Hello,
The Service Port can be currently only be modified by manually editing a key configuration file called "RuntimeSettings.xml." It's important to note that there are two files with this name installed on a Server:
**Please note that the settings should only ever be modified using the Alteryx System Settings dialog, as incorrect or incomplete settings could prevent your server from running correctly.**
That said, I would encourage you to reach out to your support contact at Alteryx prior to performing any manual modification of your Server configuration. This is especially important if you are running a multiple-node Server installation, as all nodes will need their Controller information updated. Similarly, Alteryx Designer users using the Scheduler will also be impacted by the change.
If you "must" change the Service Port, however, the following checklist will suffice:

Hi,
I had a client who also asked this question, and the i finally found the solution. The configuration consist of two steps:
1. The first thing you have do do is to define the port in the configuration under gallery. For example http://localhost:8080/gallery
2. Second step is to edit "C:\Program Files\Alteryx\bin\RuntimeData\RuntimeSettings.xml". Make sure to make a backup first. There is a node called <ServicePort>80</ServicePort> which you change to the wished port. For example <ServicePort>8080</ServicePort>.
Hope this solves your issue - it solved mine
