Apache Tomcat and Search

During the installation of the StarTeam Server, Apache Tomcat is installed. The default port number is 9090. If you need to change this value, you will also have to change a few configuration files to keep the services synchronized.
  1. Open the Microsoft Windows Component Services window.
  2. Stop the Starteam Search Web Service 15 service.
  3. Navigate to the conf folder in the Apache Tomcat installation directory ( C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\StarTeam Server <version #>\WebServer\conf).
  4. Open server.xml for editing. Look for the following element: 
    <Connector connectionTimeout="20000" port="9090" protocol="HTTP/1.1" redirectPort="8443"/>
  5. Change port="9090" to the new value.
  6. Save and close the file.
  7. Open the starteam-server-configs.xml file found in C:\Program Files\Micro Focus\StarTeam Server <version #>.
  8. For each configuration that uses search, locate the following item: RESTServicePort. If the option is not there, add it: <option name="RESTServicePort" value="9090"/
  9. Change the value from 9090 to the new value that will match the Apache Tomcat value.
  10. Save the starteam-server-configs.xml.
  11. Restart each server configuration.
