Configuring Release Manager to Use a Different Port

Serena Release Manager runs using the Serena Common Web server, which is an Apache Tomcat Web server. The Serena Release Control installer automatically installs and configures the Serena Common Web server to run on the default port of 9095. If this port is already in use by another application on your server, or if you already have an instance of the Serena Common Web server running on a different port on this server, you will need to decide how you want to proceed.

Serena Release Manager is configured to use port 9095 by default, but changing the Web server to use port 9095 may impact other Serena products if they rely on a previously configured port, such as 8080. Make sure all Serena products using the same Serena Common Web server are configured to use the same port number, or install the products on separate servers so that they can use different Serena Common Web servers with different port numbers.
Use the default installation and configuration procedures on the Serena Release Manager server in the following scenarios:
There is a non-Serena Tomcat, IIS, or other Web server installed on this server on a port other than 9095, and port 9095 is free.
There is a Serena Common Tomcat Web server already installed on this server on port 9095.
There is not a Web server on this server.

If you want to use a different port for Serena Release Manager, you must change the port number as shown in Checklist for Changing the Port Number.

IMPORTANT! The port change procedures do NOT replace or supersede the required installation and configuration procedures. Although it is possible to do the port changes as you are installing, these procedures assume that you have already completed the installation and system configuration procedures elsewhere in this document before beginning the port change procedures.
