How to change the HTTP port from 8080 to 80 in Appian 25.2?

Certified Lead Developer

Hi everyone,

I'm working with Appian 25.2 on Windows, and I want to change the default HTTP port from 8080 to 80.

Here’s what I’ve done so far:

  1. I did not modify anything in <APPIAN_HOME>, as per Appian's official recommendations.

  2. I located the file tomcatResources.xml inside <REPO_HOME>\conf.

  3. I added this connector definition:

    <Connector port="80" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="443" />
  4. I ran configure.bat from the root of the configuration repository. It completed successfully with no errors.

  5. I did not start the Appian environment, I only checked the generated file at:

    <APPIAN_HOME>\tomcat\apache-tomcat\conf\server.xml

    And I noticed that the port is still set to 8080 instead of 80.

 What else should I check or configure to get the port changed properly to 80?
