Question: How do I tell Foxhound to use an HTTP port other than 80?

Answer: You can edit one or more of the following Windows command files to specify a different HTTP port:

$start_foxhound1_engine.bat

$start_foxhound1_firefox.bat

$start_foxhound1_firefox_debug.bat

$start_foxhound1_ie.bat

$start_foxhound1_ie_debug.bat

By default, these command file are installed in this location on Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\RisingRoad\Foxhound1
and in this location on Vista:
C:\ProgramData\RisingRoad\Foxhound1
Look for a line inside each command file that says this:
-xs http(port=80;maxsize=0;to=600;kto=600)^
and change the 80 to something else, like 12345:
-xs http(port=12345;maxsize=0;to=600;kto=600)^
Then, look for a line that says this:
http://localhost/foxhound
and if you find it (all five command files have it except for $start_foxhound1_engine.bat) change it like this:
http://localhost:12345/foxhound
