FAQ

The ports that need to be locally accessible are: 1. 2100 – Muse Z39.50 Bridge Configuration file: – ${MUSE_HOME}/z3950/MuseZBridge.xml Note: This port works as a client for the Information Connection Engine (ICE) server, but it is also a server for all the Z39.50 clients connecting to it. 2. 2504 – Muse ICE Server Configuration file: – ${ICE_HOME}/ICECore.xml Files that contain references to this port: ${MUSE_HOME}/web/MusePeer.xml; ${MUSE_HOME}/use/tools/ICEClient.xml; ${MUSE_HOME}/z3950/MuseZBridge.properties Note: This port is also configured in all Muse bridges used for the Muse ICE Server (in either one of the following two files) (${MUSE_HOME}//MuseBridge.xml and in ${MUSE_HOME}//MuseBridge.properties). 3. 2505 – 3000 – Muse ICE Server Note: This is the control port for the Muse ICE Server. If it is not accessible, the next port is used, and so on. An error is retrieved if none of the ports up to 3000 can be opened. 4. 8001 –8004, 8006 – Custom XML Bridges Configuration file: – ${MUSE_HOME}/http/conf/contexts.xml or ${MUSE_HOME}/tomcat/conf/server.xml; ${MUSE_HOME}//client/MuseClient.xml 5. 8005 – Muse Local Infobase Bridge Configuration file: – ${MUSE_HOME}/http/conf/contexts.xml or ${MUSE_HOME}/tomcat/conf/server.xml Files that contain references to this port: ${MUSE_HOME}/factory/SourceFactory.xml Note: This port acts as a bridge, the communication protocol being XML. 6. 8007 – Muse Admin Configuration file: ${MUSE_HOME}/http/conf/contexts.xml or ${MUSE_HOME}/tomcat/conf/server.xml Note: This port handles XML connections. 7. 8010 – Muse HTTP Server Configuration file: ${MUSE_HOME}/http/MuseHTTPServer.xml or ${MUSE_HOME}/tomcat/conf/server.xml Note: This is the Muse HTTP Server or Tomcat control port. Note: If you want to access some of the above Muse services from the Internet or from machines other than localhost, then the port(s) corresponding to the desired service must be open to the machine making the request. Further information about this can be found in the "$MUSE_HOME/doc/Muse Advanced Configuration.pdf"document, “Server Type Ports Opened by Muse within Local LAN Scope” chapter.

The ports that need to be accessible from the Internet are:

1. 8000 – Apache Tomcat or Muse HTTP Server

Configuration file – ${MUSE_HOME}/tomcat/conf/server.xml or ${MUSE_HOME}/http/conf/contexts.xml

Files that contain references to this port:

• ${MUSE_HOME}/factory/MuseInfoBase.xml
• ${ICE_HOME}/ICECore.xml
• ${ICE_HOME}/jaas.config
• ${MUSE_HOME}/proxy/jaas.config
• ${MUSE_HOME}/web/MusePeer.xml

2. 8443 – Apache Tomcat or Muse HTTP Server

Configuration file – ${MUSE_HOME}/tomcat/conf/server.xml or ${MUSE_HOME}/http/conf/contexts.xml

Files that contain references to this port:

• ${MUSE_HOME}/web/MusePeer.xml
• ${MUSE_HOME}/enrich/MuseEnrichmentService.xml
• ${MUSE_HOME}/enrich/index/index.xml
• ${MUSE_HOME}/z3950/MuseZBridge.properties

3. 9797 – Muse Proxy

Configuration file – ${MUSE_HOME}/proxy/MuseProxy.xml

Files that contain references to this port:

• ${MUSE_HOME}/web/MusePeer.xml;
• ${MUSE_HOME}/enrich/MuseEnrichmentService.xml;
• ${MUSE_HOME}/enrich/index/index.xml;
• ${MUSE_HOME}/z3950/MuseZBridge.properties

Note: Also configured in all Muse bridges that use the MNM: (${MUSE_HOME}//MuseBridge.xml and in ${MUSE_HOME}//MuseBridge.properties).

Note: This is the secured mode of the Muse HTTP server (SSL connections).

Warning: One of the server type ports Muse opens for its components may be occupied by other server programs. One
such example is the Ajp12 connector from Tomcat. See “${MUSE_HOME}/doc/Muse External Servlets Engine (Tomcat).pdf" manual for further reference regarding the ports used by Tomcat.

Warning: If one of the Muse Servers fails to start the user is advised to check the log file for detailed information.
Finding the message below in the log file means that the port is already used by some other Application. When such a
situation occurs a reconfiguration is necessary to change the port used by the respective Muse server or by the already
existing service.
Cannot listen on port . Address already in use: JVM_Bind

Note: Not all ports are required by all Muse installations. They are required only if the corresponding components are installed. For example, port 9797 is only required if the Muse Proxy is installed.

Note: All server type ports can be remapped. The best way to accomplish this remapping is by using the Muse PostInstall Configuration package, which makes this process simple and ensures that the correct files are updated.
