Changing the number of the Rational DOORS Web Access server port

You can change the number of the port that the Rational® DOORS® Web Access server listens on for HTTP requests by editing the server.xml file in the conf subdirectory. The server.xml file is a Tomcat file.

About this task

The server.xml file has a block of text that you use to specify the port that the Rational DOORS Web Access server listens on for HTTP (non-secure) requests.

CAUTION:
Take care when changing the server.xml file. Incorrect edits can lead to a complete loss of system functionality. Always make a backup of the file before you edit it.

Procedure

  1. Open the server.xml file.
  2. Change the port number for the non-SSL port:
    1. Navigate to the following line
      <!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->
    2. Change the port number in the line <Connector port=“8080”. This number is the port that the server listens on for HTTP requests.
  3. Save the file, and then restart the server.
