Running the linux V-Ray license server on a different port?

[rbollons]

Hi,

Is it possible to run the V-Ray license server on a different port? I've tried using an Apache and Nginx proxy but V-Ray just gives back an error: "Could not obtain a license (-7): unrecognized license server response (old license server version?)".
Using the 'setvrlservice' command it allows you to set a different port number and even a username/password but there is no documentation I can find that tells you how to configure the license server itself.

Does anyone know if this is possible and if so how to do it?

The license server reads its settings from a file called vrlservice.xml in the .ChaosGroup folder inside the home folder of the user that runs the license server. The file might already exist on your machine, so it's just a matter of modifying the Serverport tag, if not, you can create a file with similar contents:

<VRLService>
  <Network>
    <Serverport>30304</Serverport>
  </Network>
</VRLService>

Where you can change the port number.

Best regards,
Vlado
