Hi,
How canĀ  I change the control port because the 6880 is use by another program
In WIKI it is said :
The port can be changed by passing a parameter to Vuze when starting it :
PHP Code:
azureus.instance.port=<port_number
See the attachment.
But where can I do that.
Thanks
The Wiki links to an example of how to do it for Windows

Or are you on another OS?
Thanks but my question is : Where in windows I do that.
Find the location of Azureus.exe on your computer using Windows Explorer - it will most likely be in one of these two locations

c:\program files\Vuze\Azureus.exe
c:\program files (x86)\Vuze\Azureus.exe

Edit a file called Azureus.exe.vmoptions in the same folder as Azureus.exe (i.e. in the Vuze folder) using Notepad (for example)

The file should actually already exist and contain the single line

-include-options ${APPDATA}\Azureus\java.vmoptions

Add a separate line to the file with the following content

-Dazureus.instance.port=45811

(or another port number that takes your fancy in the range 1025->65535 that isn't in use)

Save the file and start Vuze

You can actually make the same change to the file referenced in that existing line

%appdata%\Azureus\java.vmoptions

if you want (that doesn't require admin permission to edit)
