Changing the HTTP Port Number for Spectrum Spatial
The HTTP port is used to access all Spectrum web services, whether via REST or SOAP, and for the Welcome page, sample apps and Spatial Manager.
After Spectrum™ Technology Platform is installed, you can change the existing port settings that were assigned during installation by manually editing the global, startup, and individual service configuration files. There are several reasons you may need to change the port number:
- The silent installer for Spectrum™ Technology Platform does not allow you to specify the port; it can only be specified after installation.
- A port conflict occurs after installation.
- You want to try out a new version of Spectrum without removing your old one. Since you cannot install them both, you can turn off the existing version and install a Spectrum image that uses a different port.
- You need a proxy on port 8080 but have a limited number of ports to expose externally, so you would like to move Spectrum without re-creating all your settings and data flows.

To make Spectrum run under the new HTTP port, a number of entries in properties and configuration files need to be changed. To change the service configurations, you must have WebDAV file editing enabled on the server. WebDAV is available on Windows and Linux servers but may need to be installed.
