Changing Port Numbers

To change the port number of PostgreSQL Portable you will need to edit two files:

• .\PostgreSQLPortable\App\AppInfo\Launcher\PostgreSQLPortable.ini

  Within the [Environment] section add (or amend) a PGPORT entry for the desired port number:

  PGPORT=6543

• .\PostgreSQLPortable\Data\data\postgresql.conf

  Within the CONNECTIONS AND AUTHENTICATION section un-comment the port setting and change its value to the desired port number:

  port=6543

Once completed relaunch your PostgreSQL Portable application and you should be connected on the new port number.

Do I Have To Use The PortableApps.com Platform

No, the PostgreSQL Portable application will work with or without the PortableApps.com Platform. Just download, install to your portable area and run.
