Changing ports of Wiki2touch
If you are using Air Sharing together with Wiki2touch, there would be a clash in port numbers resulting in the inability to startup Airsharing after wiki2touch is installed. In order to resolve this issue, there is a need to change the port numbers of wiki2touch. To do this, navigate to

Inside, there wouldbe a BossPrefs directory. cd into that, and there is a services directory. There should be a Wiki2Touch file. Open the file using vi and there is a plist file directive inside. edit the plist file to include the following.
<string>-p</string> <string>8081</string>
This is to be added under the arguments section. before the -v directive. In order browse the wiki2touch, you would then have to use port 8081 instead of 8080. This would however get Air Sharing to play nice with the wikisrvd.
