How to use default port 80 instead of 9080

[Yakup Klein]

I�m using WAS 6 and I deployed the application, everything working fine but I have to give portnumber :9080 after the servername. I don�t have a webserver installed I have only a application server.
I can reach to the application with http://testserver:9080/auto/flow and I don�t want to type 9080. I just want to type http://testsever/auto/flow in my browser.
In the virtual servers there is a default_server with portnumber 9080 and 80 but it isn�t working yet.
Where can I configure this. Is it possible to configure it in the admin console of Websphrere 6.0.2.9. Did I miss an important point?
Can I java/websphere guru help me?

Thanks

You can re-configure the ports in the admin console.

You can also configure this when you add a new server profile via the profile creation wizard.

Thanks Scott,
But where can I do that in Websphere 6. I adjusted in virtual host by making a new alias, but it has no effect. I want to re-configure it, can you please tell how should do it.
May be it is stupid question but, do I need also a webserver?
Thanks

WebSphere is a webserver. You just need to start it via command line (or graphical interface) then connect to the admin console via the default ports.

This can be a little confusing in v6.0. You need to add the port to your virtualhost entry which you already have done. Next look for Channel/Chain section of the adminconsole and add a new Channel and set it to listen on port 80( you can name it whatever you want )...or look for the Chain named default_host( which is currently listening on 9080 ) and change it to listen on port 80. You may need to restart for the changes to take effect( not sure ).

Hi,
In 6.0 Express Edition, i have changed WC_defaulthost to 80, then i have added a new virtual host named "*" with 80 as port number. Then i've seen that WCInboundDefault TransPort Chain had updated its port to WC_defaulthost (port 80) Then i restart Websphere services, but i couldn't call my apps from 80 port ort 9080 port neither.
Any suggestions?
