HostService Setup for appRules Portal
Run the appRules.HostService executable (located in the [Install Folder]\appStrategy\appRulesPortal folder) and it will immediately serve the appRules application to port 8080 by default.
An example of cmd file to install and uninstall the host service is available in the appStrategy\appRulesPortal\PortalData\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.
