During installation of opentaps 1.5
(described in this post), I needed to change the default port. By
default, opentaps get deployed to listen on port 8080. I already had
several Tomcat instances deployed with previous software installs.
After testing which ports were already used (described
in a previous post), I decided to configure the instance to
listen on port 8084.
This requires port entries to be
changed in two places. The configuration file for ofbiz-containers as
well as the configuration file for jetty-containers.
First, I navigated to the folder where
OpenTaps was unzipped in a terminal window. Then I edited the
ofbiz-containers.xml folder as shown below.
$ gedit
./framework/base/config/ofbiz-containers.xml
Within the file, look for the port
entry 8080. Change it to 8084.
Next in the same folder, edit another
file called jetty-containers.xml. Again change the port entry from 8080 to 8084, as shown below.
With these two files changed and saved,
I started the opentaps instance by entering the start command. The
rest of the installation is described in my original post.
