Change Application Server Ports

If you have another application running on your machine which is using the same ports that Product 360 - Supplier Portal uses by default, you may need to change the ports.

To change the ports for Product 360 - Supplier Portal, open the file <PIM_SUPPLIER_PORTAL_INSTALLATION_ROOT>/tomcat/conf/server.xml.

default server.xml

<Server port="9005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
...
 
<Connector port="9090" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="9443" 
               URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
 
...
 
<!-- Define an AJP 1.3 Connector on port 9009 -->
<Connector port="9009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="9443" />
 

You need to modify the server port (default is 9005), the http nio connector port (default is 9090) and the ajp connector port (default is 9009) to ports that are free on your machine.

You can use netstat to identify free ports on your machine. See more information on using netstat on Windows.

For example, here are the lines of a modified server.xml file, using ports '8005' as server port, '8090' as http nio port and '8009' as ajp connector port:

modified server.xml

<Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
...
 
<Connector port="8090" protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol"
               connectionTimeout="20000"
               redirectPort="8443" 
               URIEncoding="UTF-8" />
 
...
 
<Connector port="8009" protocol="AJP/1.3" redirectPort="8443" />

To access Product 360 - Supplier Portal with this configuration, point your web browser to http://localhost:8090/.
