+==== Additional notes related to running Greenstone on Windows ====
 On Windows, running the Greenstone Librarian Interface (GLI) or the Greenstone Server Interface (GSI) manually from a DOS prompt could be useful in diagnosing anything that goes wrong, since it keeps any messages that were displayed during program execution visible in the DOS window.

    * With OpenOffice and the extension installed and the Greenstone environment set up for this, Greenstone's Word, PowerPoint and Excel Plugins will have a new option, "-openoffice_conversion", allowing conversion with Open Office instead of the existing converter. Switching on this new option means that more recent Office formats like docx can be included in Greenstone collections and processed by Greenstone.
 ====PDFBox====
-  * The PDF Box extension provides support for conversion of PDF documents to text. It supports the latest PDF versions (unlike Greenstone's standard pdftohtml program), so is useful for collections with new PDF documents.

    * Download the extension [[http://trac.greenstone.org/browser/main/tags/2.86/gs2-extensions/pdf-box/trunk|from here]], which is available in tar.gz and zip formats, and unzip into Greenstone's **ext** folder. The PDF Box extension does not require additional software to be installed.
    * Before you can use the extension, you will need to quit GLI and GS2-server if either are open and then you will need to relaunch GLI (or run Greenstone scripts) from a fresh command terminal, in order for the extension to become available in the Greenstone environment.

 ===== Known Issues and Patches =====
+==== Issues with running Greenstone on Port 80 ====
+Diego Spano describes how to run Greenstone on a port other than its default (the default port is 80), including in cases where you're creating a Greenstone CD-ROM or DVD-ROM:
+WSASYSNOTREADY error will appear in any machine that has port 80 in use, not only Windows 10 machines. Even more, if you enable Windows firewall, you will not be able to run Greenstone too. If you have WAMP or XAMP in your machine, GS will not run. Sometimes, antivirus will block Greenstone too. I mean, there are many reasons that will have conflict with Greenstone.
+If you distribute DVDs, before burning the image, change the file llsite.cfg and replace the line "portnumber=80" with "portnumber=1000" (or whatever you want).
+If you are dealing with local installations, just open Greenstone Server --> File Menu --> Settings and the set the port number:
