Can't connect to server after changing port number


Fredrik Attebrant (1133) | asked Oct 02 '08, 7:24 a.m.
Due to firewall issues, we have to run our Jazz team server using non-default port numbers. Initially, I configured this in the following files:

<JazzInstallDir>/server/teamserver.properties
<JazzInstallDir>/server/tomcat/conf/server.xml

It works ok, but when using the RTC client, there's a bunch of cases where URLs are still using the default 9443 port. So I searched the Jazz help and found this page:

https://jazz.net/jazzdocs/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.team.install.doc/topics/t_s_server_installation_post_config.html

Now, the problem begins. After changing the port numbers (using the Web Admin UI/Advanced Properties page) for:

com.ibm.team.repository.servlet.internal.ServletConfigurationService
com.ibm.team.repository.service.internal.webuiInitializer.ConfigPropertyInitializer

I can no longer connect to the team server - neither using RTC nor using the Web UI.

Is there some way to revert my changes?
Where are these properties stored?
In the database? (We're on derby)

All help greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
--Fredrik

Changing the port numbers in the Advanced Properties page is the right
thing to do. After you changed the port numbers, you said you couldn't
connected to your server with the Web UI or RTC client. Can you give
any more details about how they failed to connect? Is there anything in
your server or RTC client logs related to the failed connection?
