Port change of running AEM instance

In this post, I will explain how to change the AEM port of a running AEM instance?
This is a very interesting feature of AEM, using this feature, you can change the port of a running AEM instance (author or publish). For doing this follow these steps

Step 1. Go to Felix Console.
Step 2. Open the Configurations tab.
Step 3. Search for jetty service configuration, you will see a screen as shown below



In this configuration dialog, you have a property – “Http Port“ with a default value “8080“.
Step 4. Change this port to whatever port you want, in my case I am using 6502.
Step 5. Click OK

Now the page reloads itself & you will see an exception “The webpage is not available” i.e. your AEM instance port has been changed successfully. So hit URL with a new HTTP port i.e. 6502. It starts working.

Note: This port change will work till the time you don’t shut down this instance. So when you restart your AEM instance your port resets to the default port.
