HOWTO: Reconfigure for a port other than 8080

I need to run Alfresco on a server where port 8080 is already being used by another service. I looked around in the Installation Guide, the System Administration Guide, the wiki and the forum, but I didn't find any detailed description of how to do this. So, I will put my findings into this thread t

If Tomcat on Windows is largely the same as Tomcat on Linux the procedure ought to be quite similar. You could even install Cygwin (http://www.cygwin.com/) if you want to do step 3 in Unix-like style. But I am really just guessing, I don't have access to a Windows installation of Alfresco with Tomcat.

If you did the default installation of Alfresco 1.4, you will find the server.xml file here

C:\Program Files\Alfresco ECMS Community Network\tomcat\conf\server.xml

Open the file using your favorite Notepad program.

You can do a simple search for "8080", which should end up at the section

    
    <!– Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 –>
    <Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
               enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
               connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />‍‍‍‍‍‍

Just change that 8080 to 80 and you're set

    
    <!– Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 –>
    <Connector port="80" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
               maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
               enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
               connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />‍‍‍‍‍‍

Stop Alfresco. Start Alfresco. Point your browser to the server.
