    WebSphere Community Edition Changing the HTTP port to 80

    What I need to do now is find how to change WCE do bind to a particular IP Address and port.

    find . -type f | xargs grep 8080


    /var/apps/wce/var/config/config.xml most probably contains my configuration. However I found that the config file uses substituted variables from a properties file


    var/config/config-substitutions.properties

    So I changed the following line


    EndPointURI=http\://\:8080

    To

    EndPointURI=http\://<ipaddress>\:80

    and

    HTTPPort=8080

    to

    HTTPPort=80

    You may also wish to change the attribute

    from

    ServerHostname=0.0.0.0

    to

    ServerHostname=<ipaddress>

    and put your ip address to bind to a specific ip address as opposed to all ip addresses on the nic.
