You can change the Alfresco configuration in the file

./tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco-global.properties‍

.

<blockcode>
alfresco.context=alfresco
alfresco.host=localhost
alfresco.port=8080
alfresco.protocol=http

share.context=share
share.host=localhost
share.port=8080
share.protocol=http
</blockcode>

Chaange the ports to a value of your choice.

Actually I couldn't change it like that because I couldn't install Alfresco.
I'm stuck at the server port during installation process.. How do I know what value I could use to replace port 5432?

While installing Alfresco, if you are facing the port already used error, you can try giving some other port such as 5433/5434 instead of 5432 until it does not give any error. This should let you proceed with completing the installation.

Hope this helps

It works! I'm just worried that something will happen if I randomly change the port..

Thank you so much!
