I was using VMware Health Analyzer the other day to perform a health check at a customer site and needed to change the web port on the Thinapp version I was using. If you’re a VMware person or partner engaged in delivering these kinds of services, vHA is an excellent starting point for delivering health check services. Samir has a great write-up on it here<\/a> and here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In any case, I found the instructions for changing the port<\/a> on the Virtual Potholes<\/a> blog. Here’s what you need to do.<\/p>\n

1. Start the ThinApp and let it fail.\u00a0This creates a folder structure for the Tomcat instance.<\/p>\n

2. Go to C:\\users\\*the user you ran the ThinApp under*\\AppData\\Roaming\\Thinstall\\*random identification string*\\%drive_c%\\usr\\share\\vha\\tomcat\\conf<\/p>\n

3. Edit server.xml<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Find ConnectorPort=\u201d80\u2033<\/p>\n

5. Change 80 to whatever port number you know is free.<\/p>\n

6. Save the changes and start the ThinApp.<\/p>\n

7. You should see Initializing Coyote HTTP\/1.1 on http-(port number you chose)<\/p>\n

8. Access the interface from http:\/\/localhost:port<\/a><\/p>\n

And you’re good to go.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
