 In the question section,

 (1) Enter the TCP/UDP port no this server will listen to [2641]

 For Q(1), can I give 80. In tomcat server.xml, I have Connector  
 port=80 protocol=HTTP/1.1

 The handle server runs separate from tomcat.
 It will conflict if you try to run it on the same port.
 You will have a hard time to get it running if you change
 all kinds of things compared to the installation guideline
 if you dont even recognize this problem yourself.

 Port 2641 is a reserved port for CNRI.
 Try cat /etc/services | grep 2641 to check yourself.
 I guess the whole system relies on you to be reachable
 from outside on this port. You might use a firewall to
 run the service on one port and expose it to the outside
 on another, but what is it good for? there should not
 be any conflicting services running on this port.

 BTW, did you make sure to run tomcat using commons-daemon
 to avoid running it as root? Remember the rule that ports
 below 1024 are privileged.

 (2) What port no will the HTTP interface be listening to [8000]

 For Q(2), I think I have to give 80

 No, again. You will get unnecessary conflicts that way.
 The http interface is a nice help in testing when setting
 up handle services to make sure that the handle server
 is running and gives useful answers. So if you use 8000
 for something else already, try 8001, 8008, 8080 or 8088
 if you like. 8005 is used for tomcat manager IIRC and
 thus is not available.

 (3) Would you like to disable UDP services (y/n) [N]

 For Q(3), is it fine to disable the UDP service?

 I guess so, but why would you want to? UDP service of
 handle server is not known to be a special security risk,
 no reason to avoid it. How do you want to get help from
 the list if your setup is that different. Others will
 lack experience with this kind of setup and wont be
 able to help you. It can be already tricky with the
 default values.

 Bye, Christian

Yes, running the service on port 2641 is exactly what you should do
unless you have a very good reason not to.

 Port 2641 is a reserved port for CNRI.
 Try cat /etc/services | grep 2641 to check yourself.

Agreed. Agian, unless you have a good reason to not do this, it's
recommended that you do.
