HOWTO: Reconfigure for a port other than 8080

rafo

I need to run Alfresco on a server where port 8080 is already being used by another service. I looked around in the Installation Guide, the System Administration Guide, the wiki and the forum, but I didn't find any detailed description of how to do this. So, I will put my findings into this thread to start with; please make comments and additions as needed (for example, the JBoss case will look different?). Eventually this kind of info should go into the Guides, IMHO.

My environment: Linux, 2.6 kernel, Alfresco 1.4.0 running on Tomcat only. $ALF_HOME denotes the directory where the Alfresco control scripts reside.

To change the configured 8080 port, do the following:

1. Stop Alfresco:

cd $ALF_HOME
./alf_stop.sh
pgrep java
‍‍‍‍‍

The `pgrep java' command should not report any java process related to Alfresco Tomcat; if it does then kill it manually.

2. Edit the port setting in $ALF_HOME/tomcat/conf/server.xml and $ALF_HOME/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/file-servers-custom.xml. The port value occurs twice in file-servers-custom.xml.

3. Edit the alfresco.war:

cd $ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps
rm -rf alfresco
mkdir zap
cd zap
export PATH=../../../java/bin:$PATH
jar xf ../alfresco.war
[ edit the port settings in WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/file-servers.xml and WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/extension/file-servers-custom.xml ]
jar cf ../alfresco.war *
cd ..
rm -r zap
‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

4. Start Alfresco:

cd $ALF_HOME
./alf_start.sh
‍‍‍‍

How can I make this change in a Windows environment? Server 2003 R2 Enterprise?

If Tomcat on Windows is largely the same as Tomcat on Linux the procedure ought to be quite similar. You could even install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) if you want to do step 3 in Unix-like style. But I am really just guessing, I don't have access to a Windows installation of Alfresco with Tomcat.

If you did the default installation of Alfresco 1.4, you will find the server.xml file here

C:\Program Files\Alfresco ECMS Community Network\tomcat\conf\server.xml

Open the file using your favorite Notepad program.

You can do a simple search for "8080", which should end up at the section

    
    <!– Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 –>
    <Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
               enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
               connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />‍‍‍‍‍‍

Just change that 8080 to 80 and you're set

    
    <!– Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 –>
    <Connector port="80" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
               enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
               connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />‍‍‍‍‍‍

Stop Alfresco. Start Alfresco. Point your browser to the server.
