Hello David, It's possible to run either the LFC or the DPM Name Server (DPNS) on a different port. 1) On the server side : Set $LFC_PORT or $DPNS_PORT before running the LFC/DPNS daemon. See "man lfcdaemon" or "man dpnsdaemon". 2) On the client side : When using the command line or lcg_utils/gfal, set $LFC_PORT or $DPNS_PORT. If you are using LFC/DPNS sessions or opendir method, you can specify "hostname:port" as argument. IMPORTANT: You have to use different MySQL databases / Oracle accounts for the LFC and DPNS data. You cannot use "cns_db" for both... You can contact [log in to unmask] or [log in to unmask] if you have more questions.

Hi, I would like to install a local LFC instance for my site. My MON and SE services are co-located on the same box, to which I would like to add the LFC service(s). However, I understand that DPM and LFC try to use the same port, 5010. Can LFC be reconfigured to use a different port number?
