Web Server TCP/IP Port

Configuration File

<TRAVERSE_HOME>/apps/tomcat/conf/server.xml

Restart These Components After Changing the Configuration File

Description

This is the configuration file for Jakarta Tomcat application server. By default, the Traverse Web Application will run on TCP port 80. If you already have another web server or another application using that port, you will need to configure the Web Application to run on an alternate port.

Configuring the Web Application Port

  1. Edit <TRAVERSE_HOME>/apps/tomcat/conf/server.xml using a text editor and locate the following section:
<Connector
className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector" port="80" minProcessors="20" maxProcessors="80"
Change port="80" to a new unused port. For example, port 8080.
  1. Edit <TRAVERSE_HOME>/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml and locate the following section:
<init-param>
<param-name>report.server.port</param-name>
<param-value>80</param-value>
  1. Change port="80" to the same port number used in Step 1.
  2. Save the file and restart the Web Application if already running.
  3. Wait 15-20 seconds for the Web Application to initialize and use your web browser to connect to http://your_traversetraverse_host:8080/ and you should see the Traverse login page.
