Confluence 4.0 : Change listen port for Confluence
This page last changed on Sep 13, 2011 by edawson.
ProblemThis page tells you what to do if you get errors like the following when starting Confluence, when you can't access Confluence on port 8090. If you see this error: java.net.BindException: Address already in use: JVM_Bind:8090 This means you are running other software on Confluence's default port of 8090. This may be another other process running on the same port. It may also be a previous instance of Confluence that hasn't been shut down cleanly. To find out what process is listening on that port, load a command prompt and type: -a : Displays all active TCP connections and the TCP and UDP ports on which the computer is listening. -n : Displays active TCP connections, however, addresses and port numbers are expressed numerically and no attempt is made to determine names. There is also Process Explorer tool available to determine what is binding port 8090. Solution: Change the Ports which Confluence Listens OnTo change the ports for Confluence, open the fileconf/server.xml under your Confluence Installation directory. The first four lines of the file look like this:Default conf/server.xml <Server port="8000" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" debug="0"> <Service name="Tomcat-Standalone"> <Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector" port="8090" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75" enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000" useURIValidationHack="false"/> ... You need to modify both the server port (default is 8000) and the connector port (default is 8090) to ports that are free on your machine. For example, here are the first four lines of a modified Modified conf/server.xml using ports 8020 and 8099 <Server debug="0" shutdown="SHUTDOWN" port="8020"> <Service name="Tomcat-Standalone"> <Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector" port="8099" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75" enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000" useURIValidationHack="false"/> ... To access Confluence in this configuration, point your web browser to http://localhost:8099/. NOTES[1] For more information on netstat, see using netstat on Windows, or netstat man page (Linux). [2] JIRA Standalone runs on port 8080 by default. If you're looking to change the port of JIRA Standalone, see Changing JIRA Standalone's port. RELATED PAGES |
