Configuring DCSS' server ports

Copy the serverPorts.txt file from the examples directory into the top 'dcss' directory.

blctlxx:~/release-3_2/dcss > cp examples/serverPorts.txt .

The serverPorts.txt file is read by DCSS at start-up to determine what the listening ports are for the clients. The format is simply a single line of text:

scriptingEnginePort hardwarePort guiClientPort

where scriptingEnginePort is the port number which the scripting engine connects to. The hardwarePort for all of the hardware clients (DHS's) to connect to. The guiClientPort is the port number for which all of the gui clients connect to.

NOTE: The contents of this file could be added to the mysql database in a future release.
