GeoServer – How to Change the Port on GeoServer 2.13 in Linux

geoserver

Note this question IS NOT about how to change Tomcat port or jetty port or Mac or Windows native installation of GeoServer. Each configuration for different platform is different. I tried many different ways to change port to 8585 from default 8080 but it ignores my changes and still gets launched on 8080. I tried changing startup.sh and added -Djetty.port=8585 in the exec part and tried jetty-http.xml but nothing works.

I am not surprised this is not documented anywhere on their manual.

Best Answer

All you do is edit the line in start.ini that says:

jetty.port=8080

to:

jetty.port=8585

start GeoServer up ./bin/start.sh or .\bin\start.bat and away you go.
