Prerequisites

Before starting SharePoint Manager Plus in your environment, you need to ensure that the port required by the web client to connect to the server is available. By default, the solution uses port number: 8085.

In case you want to change the port number, you can do that by two ways:

• At the time of installation: During installation, you can change the default port number in the installation wizard



• After installation: In case, you need to change the port number after installation, then follow the below steps
• Stop SharePoint Manager Plus service/application.
• Locate server.xml file in <SharePoint Manager Plus installation folder>
• Find the following lines <!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8180 -->

  <Connectorport = "8085" maxHttpHeaderSize = "8192" maxThreads = "150" minSpareThreads = "25" maxSpareThreads = "75" enableLookups = "false" redirectPort = "8443" acceptCount = "100" connectionTimeout = "20000" disableUploadTimeout = "true" />

  or

  <!-- A "Connector" represents an endpoint by which requests are received and responses are returned. Documentation at : Java HTTP Connector: /docs/config/http.html (blocking & non-blocking) Java AJP Connector: /docs/config/ajp.html APR (HTTP/AJP) Connector: /docs/apr.html Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8085-->

  <Connectorport = "8085" protocol = "HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout = "20000" redirectPort = "8443"/>

• In the above lines, change the default port number from 8085 to port number of your choice. Ensure that the port number you're entering is available.
• Edit and save the server.xml file.
• Restart SharePoint Manager Plus service/application.
