Changing HTTP transport ports

Why and when to perform this task

This topic describes how to change HTTP transports manually by editing configuration files. Use this procedure when a conflicting HTTP transport setting is preventing an application server or deployment manager instance from starting.

Edit the configuration files to resolve conflicting port assignments, as described below.

Steps for this task

  1. Look for symptoms of port number conflicts.
    Troubleshooting topics describe symptoms and ways to identify and fix possible port number conflicts.

    Among the topics described are these:

  2. Edit an application server configuration.
    1. Open the server.xml configuration file for the server1 application server.

      The file path for the server1 configuration, with a node name of mynode, is:

      install_root/config/cells/mynode/nodes/mynode/servers/server1

    2. Look for transports xmi:type="applicationserver.webcontainer:HTTPTransport".

      The administrative console application uses transport ports 9090 and 9043. The Sample applications use transport ports 9080 and 9443. Change the port numbers and save the file. Make a record of the new port numbers.

    3. Open the virtualhosts.xml file in the install_root/config/cells/mynode folder.

      This file contains alias entries for transport ports defined in the server.xml file.

    4. Look for aliases xmi:id to change port number assignments for any ports you changed.

  3. Edit a deployment manager node configuration.

    The deployment manager uses HTTP transport ports for the administrative console application. The default port is 9090.

    1. Open the server.xml configuration file for the dmgr deployment manager server.

      The file path for the dmgr configuration, with a cell name of myManager, and a node name of mynode, is:

      install_root/config/cells/myManager/nodes/mynode/servers/dmgr

    2. Look for transports xmi:type="applicationserver.webcontainer:HTTPTransport".

      The administrative console application uses transport ports 9090 and 9043. Change the port numbers and save the file. Make a record of the new port numbers.

    3. Open the virtualhosts.xml file in the install_root/config/cells/mynode folder.

      This file contains alias entries for transport ports defined in the server.xml file.

    4. Look for aliases xmi:id to change port number assignments for any ports you changed.
