Setting the hostname and changing the HTTPS port

After installing Qlik Compose, you can use the Compose CLI to set the hostname and HTTPS port for accessing the Qlik Compose server machine.

Under normal circumstances, you should not need to set the hostname. However, on some systems, connecting using HTTPS redirects to localhost. If this occurs, set the hostname of the Compose machine by running the command shown below.

To set the hostname:

Run the following command from the Compose bin directory:

Command syntax

ComposeCtl.exe configuration set --address address

Where:

--address is the hostname of the Compose server machine.

Example

ComposeCtl.exe configuration set --address MyHostName

To change the HTTPS port:

Run the following command from the Compose bin directory:

Command syntax

ComposeCtl.exe configuration set --https_port port_number

Where:

--https_port is the HTTPS port number of the Compose server machine. The default HTTPS port is 443.

Example

ComposeCtl.exe configuration set --https_port 442
