Change ScriptX Port to 41191

This article will give step by step instructions for updating the ScriptX Orchestrator Port to load on Port 41191. Sometimes when ScriptX is installed it will load to Port 41192 which will cause errors with printing in Badge[on]Demand. Any user can update the port and clear these errors.

Wrong Port Error:

Option 1 - Using Windows PowerShell

Step 1: Search for Windows PowerShell in the Windows Search Bar:

1. Select 'Run as Administrator' - This will launch the Windows PowerShell Application.

Step 2: Copy the below code into the editor panel and press Enter

# Define the path to the JSON file
$jsonPath = "C:\Users\Onsite\AppData\Local\MeadCo\ScriptXServices\appsettings.json"

# Read the JSON content
$jsonContent = Get-Content $jsonPath -Raw | ConvertFrom-Json

# Set the port value
$jsonContent.ServerHost.Endpoints.Http.Port = 41191

# Save the modified JSON back to file (formatted output)
$jsonContent | ConvertTo-Json -Depth 10 | Set-Content -Path $jsonPath -Encoding UTF8

# Restart the computer with a delay and a message
Write-Host "Restarting the computer in 10 seconds..."
Start-Sleep -Seconds 10
Restart-Computer -Force

1. This will run the script to update theappsettings.json file to use the correct port automatically.
