TSWA 2005 on Port80?

Question

Hi all

I read some posts here which says that it's easy to change the tswa port from 8090 to 80. Is it working also with TFS 2005? If i read the new features from TFS 2008, then i see some changes for this issue in TFS2008.

TFS 2008 feature lists
- Enable use of Sharepoint on any server and any port
- Enable support for Reporting Services on any server and any port (new) (RTM)
- Non-default ports – We’ve gotten a bunch of feedback from enterprise customers about TFS’s limited support for alternate web sites and ports running afoul of data center policies.

Best regards,
Christian

Answer 1

Hi Christian,

Change the port of TSWA, does not affect its connection to TFS, Sharepoint Site and Report Server.

If there is no other site using port 80, you can just add new port 80 binding to TSWA site.
 If Sharepoint Site is on the same server and its port is 80, you need to create Application under this site for TSWA and set the right apppool.

Hi Ruiz

If i understand you correct, on IIS i have to create a new Application, set the ApplicationPool and the port for TSWA. After this i can connect to http://TFS_SERVER:NEWPORT/?

Hi Christian,

There are many sites under IIS. Each site can bind to one or more Ports and you can create  applications under a site.

For example,

1 you can no site using port80, you can just add a port80 to TSWA, the you can visit it by  http://TFS_SERVER:80/  and  http://TFS_SERVER:8090/

2 There is already a site using port80(the default port of sharepoint is 80), you can create an application under that site, named TSWA. Set the path of it to "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Team System Web Access\Web" and set the same apppool as  http://TFS_SERVER:8090/, then you can visit it by  http://TFS_SERVER:8090/ and  http://TFS_SERVER:80/
