Port change of running AEM instance

In this post I will explain –
how to change AEM port of a running AEM instance?
This is a very interesting feature of AEM, using this feature, you can change the port of a running AEM instance (author or publish). For doing this follow these steps –
 
Step 1. Go to Felix Console.
Step 2. Open Configurations tab.
Step 3. Search for jetty service configuration, you will see a screen as shown below – 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
In this configuration dialog  you have a property – “Http Port“ with a default value “8080“. 
Step 4. Change this port to what ever port you want, in my case I am using 6502.
Step 5. Click OK
 
Now the page reload itself & you will see a exception “The webpage is not available” i.e. your AEM instance port has been changed successfully. So hit URL with new HTTP port i.e. 6502. It start working.
 
Note :- This port change will work till the time you doesn’t shut down this instance. So when you restart your AEM instance your port resets to the default port.
 
 

 

Happy Coding
