Changing the HTTP Ports

By default, component messaging uses HTTP port 8000, and the web-based Administration Tool uses port 8080. The Tomcat server is also configured to use port 8005 for administration/shutdown.

To change any of the HTTP ports:

1.

Before installation, go to the DS_MANAGER directory and run server prepare (for Windows) or server.sh prepare (for UNIX). This copies all of the application server’s volatile files to the data directory.

2.

In the DS_DATA/conf directory, edit the server.xml file.

3.

To change the shutdown port, replace the value of 8005 in the following line:

   <Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">

4.

To change the port used by the Administration Tool, replace the value of 8080 in the following line:

   <Connector port="8080"

5.

To change the messaging port, replace the value of 8000 in the following line:

   <Connector port="8000"

6.

Start the Manager and continue installation.

You can verify your changes by opening the new Web Administration URL on the new port in your browser. For the example: http://my-manager:9000
