This procedure involves editing configuration files. Before editing any file make a backup copy of it. This allows you to revert to original, unmodified files if any issues arise.
1.
Navigate to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Websense\Web Security\apache\conf\ directory and open the httpd.conf file in a text editor.
2.
In the httpd.conf file, edit the ServerName property to reflect the new hostname.
ServerName is specified in the form <hostname>:<port>, for example:
