Change the port numbers for the Pentaho Server

Follow the instructions below to change the port through which the Pentaho Server runs:

1. Stop the Pentaho Server.

2. Navigate to the /pentaho-server/tomcat/conf/ directory.

3. Open the server.xml file with any text editor, and search for the value for Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector.

   Change the port number in the connector port element below from 8080 to your preferred port number.

   <!-- 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" />

4. Save and close the server.xml file.

5. Navigate to the /pentaho-server/pentaho-solutions/system directory and open the server.properties file with any text editor.

6. Change the fully-qualified-server-url entry to match the new port number you specified in server.xml.

   fully-qualified-server-url=http://localhost:8080/pentaho/

7. Save and close the file.

8. Restart the Pentaho Server.

If you recently upgraded to Pentaho 6.0, you may need to remove the <context-param> entry for the fully-qualified-server-url from the /tomcat/webapps/pentaho/WEB-INF/web.xml. If so, restart the Pentaho Server after removing it.
