I cant start the program and i get “another program using port 443” error
Hi Sohail,
Thanks for choosing AkrutoSync. I am sorry that you are having this problem.
If you are using Skype, then open Skype and select Tools->Options->Advanced; go to ‘Connections’ tab and uncheck the checkbox for ports 80 and 443.
If you have Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Server) running on your computer, the open Control Panel -> Advanced -> Services, disable Internet Information Server and reboot the computer.
If you are using VmWare workstation, you can change the port number it uses in VmWare settings.
If you do not know what program is using port 443, you can use a free tool from Microsoft, called TCPView (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897437.aspx) to determine which program uses the port. In TCPView, sort by ‘Local Port’ column and find 443 or https. Then stop or disable the program using this port.
Please let us know what you find out and we’ll help you get AkrutoSync running. There is a way to change the port but first we need to make sure this is the issue.

You can make AkrutoSync use a different port number, but you will also need to make your phone connect to that port number. Not all phones can do this. To make AkrutoSync use a different port number, you can do the following
1) Click the “Open Data Directory” link in AkrutoSync.2) In the windows that opens, find the file config.txt and double-click it to edit the file.
3) Add the following lines to the config file
port.ssl=1443
port.configuration.external=5555(you can use other port numbers, instead of the ones indicated above if you like)
4) Save and close the config file5) Restart AkrutoSync
It will use port 1443, instead of 443 and 5555, instead of 54321. On your phone, you will need to make your Exchange account connect to port 1443. Some phones have a box under account settings, where you can enter the port number. On some phones, you can append the port number to the server name, like xy123.no-ip.com:1443 Still other phones do not accept non-standard port numbers at all, in which case you can sync one phone over the Internet and one phone over your home network.
