2-10 Oracle Application Server Installation Guide
2.5.3 Using Custom Port Numbers (the "Static Ports" Feature)
To instruct the installer to assign custom port numbers for components:
1.
Create a file containing the component names and port numbers. Section 2.5.3.1,
"Format of the staticports.ini File" describes the file format. This file is typically
called the
staticports.ini
file, but you can name it anything you want.
2.
In the installer, on the Specify Port Configuration Options screen, select
Manual
and enter the full path to the
staticports.ini
file.
If you do not specify the full path to the file, the installer will not be able to find
the file. The installer will then assign default ports for all the components, and it
will do this without displaying any warning.
2.5.3.1 Format of the staticports.ini File
The
staticports.ini
file has the following format. Replace port_num with the port
number that you want to use for the component.
# J2EE and HTTP Server
Note:
■
In the default configuration of the
/etc/services
file
includes ports 389 and 636 (for LDAP and LDAP/SSL). These
happen to be the default ports for Oracle Internet Directory.
This means that if you want to use these port numbers for
Oracle Internet Directory, you must either delete or comment
out these lines in the
/etc/services
file. To comment out a
line, add a
#
at the beginning of the line, as shown:
# ldap 389/tcp # Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
# ldap 389/udp # Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
# ldaps 636/tcp # LDAP protocol over TLS/SSL (was sldap)
# ldaps 636/udp # LDAP protocol over TLS/SSL (was sldap)
If you do not comment out or remove the lines from
/etc/services
,
then the installer will not assign ports 389 and 636. It assigns a number
from the port number range for Oracle Internet Directory. Refer to
Appendix C.2, "Default Port Numbers" for a list of default port
numbers.
■
The installer will not assign port numbers that are specified in
the
/etc/services
file. If you do not want the installer to
assign a specific port number, then add the port number to the
/etc/services
file. For example, if you want to reserve port
7777 for an application, you can add something like the
following line to
/etc/services
:
myApplication 7777/tcp
The installer will not assign port 7777 to any component if this line
exists in the
/etc/services
file.
Difference from Previous Release:
In 10 g (9.0.4), you used
command-line options to specify the staticports.ini file. In this release,
you specify the file in the new Specify Port Configuration Options
screen.
