Hi,

is it possible to install PostgreSQL to non-standard port (5432) during FME installation?

Best answer by david_r

The postgresql standard port is 5432, but FME Server runs it on port 7082 by default. This means that it's possible to run both FME Server and a separate installation of postgresql on the same machine without port conflicts.

It is possible to change the FME Server postgresql port 7082 to something else, but you'll have to dig into the config files and modify it manually:

  • fmeCommonConfig.txt
  • postgresql.conf
