Change the Port Number of the YouTrack Windows Service

When you run YouTrack as Windows service, YouTrack uses the :80 connection port, when it is available. Otherwise, YouTrack uses the first available port starting from :8080.

To change the connection port for an MSI installation:

Open the Command Prompt window as an administrator.
In the command line, change the directory to <YouTrack installation directory>\bin.
The default installation directory location is C:\YouTrack.
Enter the following command:

net stop youtrack youtrack.bat configure --listen-port 1111 net start youtrack

These commands stop the service, configure it to use a new HTTP port value (1111) and restart the service.
Log in to YouTrack with an account that has Low-level Administration permission.
Open the Domain Settings page and verify that the Base URL setting is correct.
