[JBoss 4] How to change port 8080 in JBoss?

Article By Kamal Mettananda on September 11, 2006

With default configurations, JBoss listens on port 8080 for web connections. But this can be changed easily as this port is defined in an configuration xml file.

This is how port 8080 is changed on JBoss 4.

1. Goto the deploy folder of the server instance you use.
2. Goto the jbossweb-tomcat55.sar inside that deploy folder.
3. Find the file named server.xml inside that folder. (tomcat service file).

Look for the HTTP Connector section inside the server.xml where 8080 configuration is available. Change the port value to what ever the required port number.

This change wiill be available when JBoss is restarted.

This is all well and good if you have a tomcat.sar file.
I've just downloaded Jboss-4.2.2 GA and it doesn't have this.
Yet it's failing to start because I have another app server that's already using that port (8080).
So how do I make a mod?
Cheers

I was doing this with 4.0 and did not have a time to check with 4.2 yet.

Does anybody know how to change the default port 8080 of the jmx-console and the web-console, i'm running the version 4.2.3 in Sun OS

In 4.2.3 you will find the config file at jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deploy\jboss-web.deployer\server.xml

Hey kamal, good article.

One more point to add to your's:
Suppose port is changed to 8090.
To check whether JBoss is working at the changed port - 8090:
Open a browser.
Type in http://localhost:8090
You should get the JBoss home page.

Happy Jbossing-
Thalapathy.
