port number on my host

Hi,

We have UNIX with Apache/Tomcat and BO 6.5.1.

I remember me seeing the port number and host name on dev server in one of the directories. I don’t remember where ?? Could you please help me out with the possible directories where I can look for the port number.

FYI: I know the host name as oracdevas which I can see in /opt/BOBJ/Enterprise6/nodes directory.

Thanks.

The Apache httpd.config file holds the server and port details.

Mike,

Thanks for the reply. I see 8085 as listening port in Apache->http.conf file.
It appears the same even in production (Apache ->http.conf).

But, I know that we use 8850 on production as once I changed my port to 8850 when I wanted my Config tool to point to this port while running the reports manually in BCA. To my understanding, 8850 should be seen in http.conf file in production. But I see 8085.

FYI:

ports: 8850 on production
I don’t remember now on development but it’s different from
production

infoview URL: http://oracfipras:8085/wijsp---production
http://orafideas:8085/wijsp---development

What does 8085 represent here ??? Please answer me.

Thanks.

There are a number of core ports and files used in an Apache Tomcat setup.
The simplest test is to type in the server and a port number i.e:
http:/server:8080/ is typically used instead of :80 for Apache and will display the Apache default page - feather logo.
http:/server:8001/ is typically used for Tomcat and will display the Tomcat default page - cat logo.

You can also have multiple Tomcat instances on the same server for loadbalancing etc!

So try both server:8850 and 8085.
Then you also have the connectors which enable the comms between them - typically 8007 or 8009 by the use of Coyote or Ajp13/14etc - mod_jk/2.

The core files you need to be aware of are httpd.config - server.xml - workers.properties on Apache and Tomcat. Most critical info is contained therein.
