Changing the Port Used by the PoolParty Server
04/09/2025
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:
Open a shell and change to root:
sudo -i
Stop PoolParty:
<PPAppDir>/bin/poolparty stop
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:
<PPAppDir>/tomcat/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.
Adapt the URL for Elasticsearch 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:
<PPAppDir>/config/
Open a console and change to root:
sudo -i
Start PoolParty:
<PPAppDir>/bin/poolparty start
