Overview

Cache Server for Jive On-premise instances listens on port 8081 by default. You may need to change this port configuration if you need to run another application that also uses this port to avoid any conflicts. This article provides instructions on how you can perform the change for the port configuration. 

Environment

Jive On-Premise instance.

Solution

These instructions only apply to the default Jive On-Premise installation. The cache server may already be using a different port other than 8081 if the installation has been customized.

1. Login to your Jive On-Premise instance as an administrator.

2. Stop the Cache Server.

   $ jive stop cache

3. Navigate to the directory containing the cache.py file that hosts the port configuration for the Cache Server.

   $ cd /usr/local/jive/python/lib/python2.7/site-packages/jive_cli/

4. Backup cache.py file before making any changes.

   $ cp -p cache.py cache.py_backup

5. Change the port number from 8081 to the desired port on the following line in the cache.py file. The new port must not overlap with the other ports that Jive uses.

   ET.SubElement(server, 'http-port').text = '8081'

6. Save and close the file.

7. Start the Cache Server for the changes to take effect.

   $ jive start cache
