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:

$backup_foxhound3.bat
$start_foxhound3_chrome.bat
$start_foxhound3_chrome_debug.bat
$start_foxhound3_default_browser.bat
$start_foxhound3_default_browser_debug.bat
$start_foxhound3_engine.bat
$start_foxhound3_firefox.bat
$start_foxhound3_firefox_debug.bat
$start_foxhound3_ie.bat
$start_foxhound3_ie_debug.bat

By default, those command files are installed here on Windows XP:

   C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\RisingRoad\Foxhound3

and on Windows 7 they are here:

   C:\ProgramData\RisingRoad\Foxhound3
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 the "chrome", "firefox" and "ie" command files have it) change it like this:
http://localhost:12345/foxhound
