HostService Settings

Run the appRules.HostService executable (located in the [Install Folder]\appStrategy folder) and it will immediately serve the appRules application to port 8080 by default.

A sample cmd file to install and uninstall the host service is available in the appStrategy\Services_Installation folder)

Note: You may get an “Access Denied” error if you are not running on a Windows Server and don’t have Administrator privileges because Windows blocks attempts at listening to all domains (*). In which case add “-d:localhost” to accept local connections, or run as administrator.
