Hi all,
I want to change the port number of Jboss from 8080 to some other as I have oracle tnslistener on the same port no.
I have tried to change it following way, but it stills shows the error
server port in use 8080-http.
1) \jboss-4.0.3\server\deploy\jbossweb-tomcat55.sar\server.xml
<!-- A HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->
<Connector port="8088" address="${jboss.bind.address}"
maxThreads="250" strategy="ms" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
emptySessionPath="true"
enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"/>
2) \jboss-4.0.3\server\deploy\http-invoker.sar\META-INF\jboss-service.xml
changed all 8080 to 8088.

But its not working Please help.

That is all you need to change to change it from 8080 to another port. Maybe 8088 is also being used.

your change to the jboss-service.xml only affects the URL to use to use the HttpInvoker, which most people don't use anyway. It will not set JBoss to listen to a particular port.

You can also lookup the ServiceBinding Manager (at JBoss's website) to see how you can set a bunch of port numbers in a cleaner way than going into many different configuration files, but the server.xml is the only place that sets up 8080 as the Tomcat port number for Http.

Thanks Mark for your inputs.
I have a customized Eclipse that uses Jboss as a plugin. I have already changed the port, but in Eclipse, it gives error about the 8080 port (it is in use inspite that server.xml has port 8088 defined for http). In external browser it opens Jboss console at the port specified in server.xml (here=8088).
Is it like there are some internal refernces to that port no? I still have the problem. I have though uninstalled the Oracle server and put it elsewhere for the time being, but i want to know the answer.

Unfortunately, I do not use Eclipse, or try to avoid is as much as possible. But it could just be that the server that Eclipse starts up is no the server that you are changing. It might have its own installation of JBoss within its directory. Or maybe you change the all configuration and Eclipse uses the default server configuration.

Thanks Mark.
The client has clarified that the Jboss port settings are done in the Eclipse configuration. So changing the port in server.xml would effect the instance of Jboss http listener (the reason why it was avialable in external browser).
Secondly we are working on how to change that port as that is not recommended.
Thanks once again for your insight.

Mark,

Why do you avoid eclipse? Any bad experience?
I use eclipse since long and it's nice IDE?

In Eclipse 3.4.x, look at eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.jboss_1.5.206.v20090115/servers. This directory contains config files for various versions of JBoss AS. The ports used by Eclipse to communicate with Boss AS are located in those files - change those ports to the same values you used in the JBoss AS config files.

If you are not using Eclipse 3.4.x, search for files named jboss*.serverdef

Do not change the server.xml file - thep roper way to change the ports used by JBoss AS 5.0.x (or 5.1.x) is to edit the server/xxx/conf/bootstrap/bindings.xml file. (Based on the log entries you posted, I suspect that you edited the wrong server.xml file.)

To change the ports that Eclipse uses to monitor JBoss AS (for example, to tell when it has started, and to shut it down), modify the jboss5.serverdef file.

Both files must agree as to the ports used or else Eclipse cannot determine if the app server has started, and will be unable to stop the app server.

It has started running successfully.

Isha,

I am using JBOSS 6.0.0. I am new to this server. I didnot find the respective folders as in the thread. But by carefully observing I found a different folder structure and when the changes are made, they are being reflected. i am unable to change the port of the server. Please help me out

..\jboss-6.0.0.M2\jboss-6.0.0.20100216-M2\server\default\deploy\bindings-jboss-beans.xml - binding.xml
..\eclipse-jee-galileo-SR2-win32\eclipse\plugins\org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.jboss_1.6.1.v200904151730\servers\jboss5.serverdef - jboss5.serverdef

Thanks in advance

You actually have that file there? It seems incorrect. For 6.0.0 M2 that file is still in JBOSS_HOME/server/< servername>/conf/bindingservice.beans/META-INF/bindings-jboss-beans.xml

The < servername> in my post, stands for the server profile you are using? Usually it's the "default" one. Which one are you using? How do you start the server?

I have published my server on eclipse and I run the server using the eclipse itself. Please let me know if I am doing some thing wrong.

The changes made in the .xml file located in the default folder didnt turn out.

Process i am following for changing the port:
Changed in jboss-6.0.0.20100216-M2\server\default\conf\bindingservice.beans\META-INF\bindings-jboss-beans.xml from 8080 to 8088
Changed in plugins\org.eclipse.jst.server.generic.jboss_1.6.1.v200904151730\servers\jboss5.serverdef from 8080 to 8088
Restarting the server

Still the server is working on the same port 8080. Can you please help me.

Thanks in advance

hi
To change port number from 8080 to something else.you need to change the port number from server.xml file. Now location of server.xml file is C:\jboss-5.0.0.GA\server\default\deploy\jbossweb.sar if Jboss is installed in c drive. Then remove jboss from netbeans and again add to netbeans...Now it will show the changed port.

Gourav, two points:
a) Changing the port number in server.xml is not the right thing to do (see my earlier post)
b) You provide a location in JBoss AS 5. You are aware that this current discussion is about JBoss AS 6, right?

Hi Peter,

I use JBOSS 4.0.3SP1 and I changed server.xml to new port and it worked fine. from your posts, I can see that
that's not the rite way to do it. As you said, I tried to find serverdef. But, I couldn't find it. What would be the reason
for that ? Is there a serverdef file in 4.0.3SP1 ??

BTW, I do not use any IDEs. I start server from run command.

I don't have any issues with AS working with that change in server.xml. But, I want to know the proper way to do it.

Cheers,
Kalyan

The serverdef file is for IDEs (as already mentioned by Peter in his reply). Since you don't use IDEs, you don't have to worry about that file.

The right way to do this, is to use the Service binding manager. For 4.x see this documentation.

I couldn't find any bindings file in my setup. Actually, I did find one "sample-bindings.xml" file.But, this is in example folder of the setup.
Could some one help me to find the actual binding file please. I use JBOSS 4.0.3SP1.

Should I change the bindings file even if I don't use multiple instances on AS ???
All I wanted to do is changing the default port from 8080 to a different one.

Thanks,
Kalyan.

"Wander Soares", please see your private messages for an important administrative matter.

Did you try searching for the string "8080" and changing it to "8082"?

I tried it, i only found one unique "8080",but that does not seem to be the right one.

<bean class="org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingMetadata">
<property name="serviceName">jboss.web:service=WebServer</property>
<property name="bindingName">HttpConnector</property>
<property name="port">8080</property>
<property name="description">JBoss Web HTTP connector socket; also drives the values for the HTTPS and AJP sockets</property>
</bean>

I tried that one, but anythig changes!

I'm going to close this thread now. This thread is creating more confusion by suggesting changes to various files of various different versions of the AS. If anyone has a specific question related to this please create a separate thread.
