How to specify a port when creating a WFS service?

Question

This is a arcgis forum posting simplified. When setting up a service using ArcCatalog 9.3.1 the URL port number is not included in the WFS GetCapabilities response. Is there a way to correct this?

Answer 1

When adding a server to "GIS Servers" be sure to include the port information. For example:

• double-click "Add ArcGIS Server" and select "Manage GIS Services".
• In the "Server URL" provide http://www.myserver.com:5000/arcgis/services.
• You may need to reboot the PC for the changes to take affect.
