Can we configure a application on default port on Websphere. I mean user while giving the URL to access an application websphere should not give port number in URL.
For example http://mydomain.co.in/MyApp should take him to application MyApp deployed on port 9080.

Go to Environment ---> Update Web Server Plugin

click on ok if you have web module deployed on same machine and restart server

If you have web module on different machine then download and replace the plug-in file on web server

Hope this helps

IBM does not recommend that you use WebSphere in a production server running on Port 80. There are security risks associated with having the same ports open inside your firewall as outside your firewall. While you can change the port the application server listens for HTTP on (To view this administrative console page, click Servers > Application Servers > server_name > Communications > Ports and choose the HTTP listener port) the reason that it is not set to 80 by default is that the web server plugin would forward to that port -- application URL's would never reference the WebSphere port (9080) since the web server plugin would forward requests from port 80 to port 9080.

And if you were somehow planning on running WebSphere inside the DMZ...well, that's an even worse idea...
