Changing the Default Ports

When you run multiple WSO2 products, multiple instances of the same product, or multiple WSO2 product clusters on the same server or virtual machines (VMs), you must change their default ports with an offset value to avoid port conflicts. Port offset defines the number by which all ports defined in the runtime such as the HTTP/S ports will be changed. For example, if the default HTTP port is 9763 and the port offset is 1, the effective HTTP port will change to 9764. For each additional WSO2 product instance, you set the port offset to a unique value.

The list of default ports used by all WSO2 products are listed here.

Setting a port offset for the server

The default port offset value is 0. There are two ways to set an offset to a port:

Pass the port offset to the server during startup. The following command starts the server with the default port incremented by 3:./wso2server.sh -DportOffset=3
Set the Ports section of <PRODUCT_HOME>/repository/conf/carbon.xml as follows:<Offset>3</Offset>

When you set the server-level port offset in WSO2 AS as shown above, all the ports used by the server will change automatically. However, this may not be the case with some WSO2 products such as WSO2 APIM and WSO2 AM. Follow the links given below for more details on these products:
