how to change listen port from default 7001 to something different?

Question

Can anyone tell me how to change the default listening port of Weblogic 10.3 to something different? I saw some posts on discussion boards which say that change it under ...//config/config.xml. Even I thought so, but surprisingly, there is no mention of word "port" in that file. Here is the file:

Answer 1

Simplest option ...your can change it from AdminConsole. Login to AdminConsole--->Server-->--->Configuration--->ListenPort (Change it)!

Answer 2

if your port is 7001, since it's the default it might not be mentioned in the config.xml. config.xml only reports stuff which differs from the default, for sake of simplicity.

apart from the config.xml, you should look into a number of other places under your domain-home:

bin/stopWebLogic.sh
bin/stopManagedWebLogic.sh
bin/startManagedWebLogic.sh
config/fmwconfig/servers/osbts1as/applications/em/META-INF/emoms.properties
config/config.xml
init-info/startscript.xml
init-info/tokenValue.properties

servers/osbts1as/data/nodemanager/osbts1as.url
servers/osbts1as/data/ldap/conf/replicas.prop
servers/osbts1ms1/data/nodemanager/osbts1ms1.url
servers/osbts1ms1/data/nodemanager/startup.properties

servers/osbts1ms2/data/nodemanager/osbts1ms2.url
servers/osbts1ms2/data/nodemanager/startup.properties
startManagedWebLogic_readme.txt
sysman/state/targets.xml

And don't forget to update any internal URIs of your deployed code.

See also http://www.javamonamour.org/2013/04/weblogic-change-admin-port-number.html

Especially changing the listen address/port of the admin can be troublesome. If you change only the managed server, it's a lot easier.

The best option is just rebuilding the domain.
