Changing the Port Used by the PoolParty Server
Prerequisites for Changing the Port of PoolParty Server
A default installation of PoolParty following the respective Installation Guide.
No other service running on port 80.
To change the PoolParty default port to another than port 80, follow these steps:
Step 1: Stop the PoolParty Server
On Linux, open a shell and change to root:
sudo -i
Stop PoolParty:
<PPAppDir>/bin/poolparty stop
Note
On Windows, use the Apache Tomcat service application to stop PoolParty. For more, see: Control PoolParty Using Tomcat Service Application (Windows)
Step 2: Change the port-property of the Connector-tag in the Apache Tomcat's server.xml
Change the port-property in the Connector element of server.xml to reflect your desired port:
Example Port Configuration 8081 of server.xml
...
<Connector port="8081" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
connectionTimeout="20000"
redirectPort="8443" />
...You will find the file in these paths respectively:
Linux: <PPAppDir>/tomcat/conf/
Windows: <drive>:\<TomcatDir>\conf
Note
You need to configure your packet filter/firewall (if any) in a way that allows the host to accept incoming connections on the port of your choice.
Otherwise, PoolParty may not be reachable over the network.
Step 3: Change the Connector URL
Adapt the URL for Solr connection in poolparty.properties with new port:
Example Port Configuration 8081 of poolparty.properties
... ppt.url=http://localhost:8081/PoolParty/ ...
You will find the file in these paths respectively:
Linux: <PPAppDir>/config/
Windows: <drive>:\<PPAppDir> config\
Step 4: Start the PoolParty Server
On Linux open a console and change to root:
sudo -i
Start PoolParty:
<PPAppDir>/bin/poolparty start
Note
On Windows, use the Apache Tomcat service application to start PoolParty.
