Changing the portal URI

This section describes how you can change the default portal URI after installation. This includes information about how to change the URI for a Producer portal.

Although IBM^® WebSphere^® Portal Express and Web Services for Remote Portlets are installed with a default URI, you can change this URI after installation to better suit the requirements of your organization.

Before you begin

Copy all your own custom portlet application .WAR files that you deployed after the initial installation into the directory portal_server_root/installableApps. This step is required because after changing the portal URI all portlets must be redeployed. The redeployment is done by a configuration task in a step listed further below. The configuration task redeploys all portlet WAR files that are located in the directories portal_server_root/installableApps and portal_server_root/deployed/archive. Therefore copy your custom WAR files into that directory so that they are included in the redeployment. The portlet WAR files that are provided with WebSphere Portal Express are already located in that directory, therefore you do not need to copy them.
