How to change default port 8080 in WildFly

Question

I just started JAVA EE development with WildFly 8.2. My first problem is how to change the default port 8080 to something else?

I found many xml files containing below line.

<socket-binding name="http" port="${jboss.http.port:8080}"/>

but I guess I don't have to change all of them?!

Unlike forum sites, we don't use "Thanks", or "Any help appreciated", or signatures on Stack Overflow. See "Should 'Hi', 'thanks,' taglines, and salutations be removed from posts?. – Eudocia

But i am not we ;-). i just try to be polite - couldn't hurt at all. See the answer "Hope this helps!" - could also be omitted. But anyway - thanks for editing. – Labelle

Answer 1

In your standalone.xml file, look for this element:

<socket-binding-group name="standard-sockets" default-interface="public" port-offset="${jboss.socket.binding.port-offset:0}">

The port-offset attribute lets you modify all the ports wildfly uses, by adding the number you specify.

For example, the default value is 0, which means that http port will be 8080, remoting 4447, etc.

If you use ${jboss.socket.binding.port-offset:100}, http port will be 8180 (8080+100), remoting 4547 (4447+100), etc.

So you need to change the offset, nothing else.

EDIT: You can also do this by using a system property at startup, check http://www.mastertheboss.com/jboss-server/jboss-configuration/configuring-port-offset-on-jboss-as-wildfly

If you want to do this from command line something like this will work: start "wildfly" standalone.bat -b 0.0.0.0 -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=100 – Daveen

Answer 2

An alternative would be to start the WildFly instance by directly specifying the port in the startup command.

---

Windows:

standalone.bat -Djboss.http.port=1234

*nix:

standalone.sh -Djboss.http.port=1234

---

This would start the port for http-remoting on 1234. Some context here.

also -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=100 so you can change ALL ports (https, management etc) – Johen

Thx, this was what i was looking for. For testing i think the startup params are the best way :) – Distinction

Answer 3

Don't forget to also offset your debug port if you are running in debug mode. This should be in the standalone.conf

If youre running onLinux`, try this command at the start

./standalone.sh -b 0.0.0.0 -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=1000

If youre working onWindows` environment,

standalone.bat -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=1000

Answer 5

/socket-binding-group=standard-sockets:write-attribute(name=port-offset,value=100)

You may need to start the cli in offline mode if there is another wildfly running.
