How to change default port 8080 in WildFly

I just started JAVA EE development with WildFly 8.2. My first problem is how to change the default port 8080 to something else?

I found many xml files containing below line.

<socket-binding name="http" port="${jboss.http.port:8080}"/>

but I guess I don't have to change all of them?!

In your standalone.xml file, look for this element:

<socket-binding-group name="standard-sockets" default-interface="public" port-offset="${jboss.socket.binding.port-offset:0}">

The port-offset attribute lets you modify all the ports wildfly uses, by adding the number you specify.

For example, the default value is 0, which means that http port will be 8080, remoting 4447, etc.

If you use ${jboss.socket.binding.port-offset:100}, http port will be 8180 (8080+100), remoting 4547 (4447+100), etc.

So you need to change the offset, nothing else.

EDIT: You can also do this by using a system property at startup, check http://www.mastertheboss.com/jboss-server/jboss-configuration/configuring-port-offset-on-jboss-as-wildfly

An alternative would be to start the WildFly instance by directly specifying the port in the startup command.

Windows:

standalone.bat -Djboss.http.port=1234

*nix:

standalone.sh -Djboss.http.port=1234

---

This would start the port for http-remoting on 1234. Some context here.

If youre running on Linux`, try this command at the start

./standalone.sh -b 0.0.0.0 -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=1000

If youre working on Windows` environment,

standalone.bat -Djboss.socket.binding.port-offset=1000

Don't forget to also offset your debug port if you are running in debug mode. This should be in the standalone.conf

/socket-binding-group=standard-sockets:write-attribute(name=port-offset,value=100)

You may need to start the cli in offline mode if there is another wildfly running.
