Change the port number of the internal application server

If the default port number is already in use, edit the eclipse.ini file to change to a different port.

When we start Eclipse with MobileFirst Studio, an embedded application server is started automatically to host a MobileFirst Server instance for the adapters and apps. This internal server uses port 10080 by default.

If port 10080 is occupied by another application running on the development computer, we can configure the MobileFirst Studio internal server to use a different port.

1. Open the Servers view in Eclipse.

2. Expand the MobileFirst Development Server list.

3. Double-click Server Configuration [server.xml] worklight.

4. In the Server Configuration window, click HTTP endpoint.

5. Change the Port value to any port number of the choice.
