Sage 50 Firewall Setup: Enable Access via File and Port Changes

Sage 50 is one of the most widely used amazing accounting software that helps in managing a smooth operation and creating various business options. The software has proved helpful in organizing financial transactions and tracking the cash flow, sales and return, and various other aspects of small or large-scale financial business.

One of the major resolutions is the firewall settings that get configured during the installation of the software in the environment. The configuration and installation of Sage 50, require a few firewall ports to be kept open on the servers that allow the end users to access data. This avoids the trouble-shooter message pop-up which points out the computer firewall being responsible for the blockage during the processing of the data and interrupting smooth functioning.

Steps to Sage 50 Configuration and Installation in the Firewalls

However, there are a few steps to be followed during the Sage 50 configuration and installation in the firewalls or the proxy server to allow complete access. The support is an example from SAGE Peachtree (U.S. edition) to help restore the environment and solve the issues. The platform, compatibility, and network need to be scrutinized properly before making any changes in the file accessibility.

For a 32-bit operating system, we need to open the Program Files and allow the following files to be allowed through the Firewall.

• Open the Ports 443, 1583, 3351, and 5222
• Locate in Program Path C:\Program Files (x86)\Sage\Peachtree\ and add the following files to the path
  • Peachw.exe
  • PeachtreePrefetcher.exe
  • SmartPostingService[Version].exe
  • PeachUpd.exe
  • SageReg.exe
  • Sage.overdrive.cloudbackup.exe
• Add the data path – OverDriveData.txt file
• Locate in Saga Data Exchange the following files-C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Sage Data Exchange
  • Sage.Data.Exchange.Client.exe
  • SageOverDrive.exe
• Add the Pervasive Software – C:\Program Files (x86)\Pervasive Software\PSQL\bin
  • w3dbsmgr.exe
  • w3lgo103.exe
• Check for Server Integration area whether the path is correctly added – C:\Program Files (x86)\Sage\Integration Services\bin: AIS2.Server.Console.exe file is added to the path.
• In case the SAGE is preventing the opening of the URL and blocking the software from downloading, an exception can be added for “ *****sage.com”
• A file in the name of peachw.exe.config will be configured during the initial installation and we can add exceptions for every URL that is present in the file.
