Changing the port numbers for the application server
If you do not want to use the default port numbers for the application servers, you can change them.
Before you begin
You must be able to stop and start the application server.
For WebSphere® Application Server, you must be an application server administrator and have access to the Integrated Solutions Console.
About this task
This must be done before setting the Public URI (that includes the port number) of your applications; after you have set the Public URI of your applications, you cannot change the Public URI. For more information, see Planning your URIs. If you must change the port number while also maintaining URL stability, consider using a reverse proxy to route requests using the old port number to the appropriate new location; for more information, see Reverse proxy servers in topologies.
