Change DXwebserver's Port Numbers

Check the logs in DXWEBHOME/logs for port conflicts. If there is a port number conflict, change the ports used by DXwebserver. To do this, modify the DXwebserver configuration file server.xml.

To change DXwebserver's port numbers

1. Find the server.xml file in DXWEBHOME/conf.
2. Open server.xml in a text editor.
3. Change one or more of the following port numbers:
   1. Change the standard port 8080, on which DXwebserver listens for non-SSL connections.

      <Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"/>
      

   2. Change the secure port 8443, on which DXwebserver listens for SSL connections. This is also used for the Coyote/JK2 1.3 connector port.

      You need to change the value 8443 in two locations in server.xml, as follows:

      <Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"/>
      

      <Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector" port="8443" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75" acceptCount="10" debug="1" scheme="https" secure="true" keystoreFile="__DXWEBSERVER_CERT_PATH__">
      

      Note: If you change the port number, the DSML sample server will not work.

   3. Change the shutdown port 8005, on which DXwebserver listens for the shutdown command, in the following section of server.xml:

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

4. Restart DXwebserver as follows:
   • On UNIX, use the following commands:

     	dxwebserver stop
     	dxwebserver start
     

   • On Windows, use the Control Panel to open the Services window, and restart the CA Directory - DXwebserver service.
