Changing Default Port Configuration

From AlfrescoWiki

With some installations, the alfresco default port shall be moved from port 8080. This works fine with the Alfresco Explorer, possibly breaks the Alfresco Share authentication, however.

There are a number of configuration files you have to update if you're moving the Alfresco Repository to a port other than 8080.

These are:

$ALF_HOME/tomcat/conf/server.xml
$ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/urlrewrite.xml
$ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/pagerenderer-config.xml
$ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/webscript-framework-config-test.xml
$ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/webscript-framework-config.xml
$ALF_HOME/tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/webscripts/org/alfresco/indexall.get.mediawiki.ftl
$ALF_HOME/tomcat/shared/classes/alfresco/extension/custom-repository.properties and add an entry to overide the default: repo.remote.endpoint.url=http://localhost:8080/alfresco/service

To double-check that's all of them, search for "8080" under the Share webapp and update to your new port to match your configuration to.

[edit] Workaround

With tomcat, you can just edit the $ALF_HOME/tomcat/conf/server.xml and copy & paste the connector definition to allow for two http ports. This way, the external access can go to the "new" port while the alfresco system can still access "localhost:8080".
