6.6.45.7: What to do after changing Web server ports

Suppose you change a Web server port. You will need change the WebSphere virtual host configurations associated with the Web server.

Specifically, modify the virtual host aliases for that Web server to reflect the new port number. After doing so, stop the application servers associated with the affected virtual hosts and start them again.

For example, if you change the Web server port to 9082:

  1. For each virtual host whose configuration contains aliases for the Web server,
  2. use the administrative console to display virtual host properties.

    1. Locate the alias settings.
    2. Append :1111 to every alias pertaining to the Web server with the changed port.
    3. Save the changes.
  3. Identify the application servers associated with the virtual host.
  4. Stop the application servers and start them again.
  5. Regenerate the HTTP plug-in configuration.

A virtual host configuration assumes the Web server port to be 80, unless otherwise specified. If you change the port from some other number to 80, either append :80 to the virtual host aliases, or make sure you remove the previous port number from any aliases.
