Changing the protocol or port

You can change either the protocol or the port provided when Spotfire Statistics Services was installed.

1. Edit SPSERVER_HOME/tomcat/conf/server.xml to modify the values for protocol or port. For example, the default installation includes the following.

   <Connector port="8080" URIEncoding="UTF-8" 
    connectionTimeout="20000"
    protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"/>

   Possible values for protocol are Http11NioProtocol or AJP/1.3.

   • If you are not using a native Web Server as a proxy or load balancer, then specify Http11NioProtocol.
   • If you are using a load balancer, and you specify AJP, then set secretRequired=false.
     Note: By default, Tomcat sets this value to true, which can cause your service to fail.
2. If you modify the port, you must change the service.url property in the spserver.properties configuration file to reflect the new value. See service.url for more information.
3. Restart the Spotfire Statistics Services service.
