How to Change Bitbucket 6.4.0 default port (7990) ?

[Erick Dominguez]

Hello everyone

I would like to change the default 7990 to port 8080 or to some other port, but I am not able to change it.

I installed Bitbucket 6.4.0 on Centos 7 using the tar.gz file (trial), in my company we have blocked a lot of ports including 7990.

I have read about add a line in shared/bitbucket.properties but this file doesn't exist, nevertheless I created it with no success of changing the port.

I know that probably this is a common question, I really appreciate you guidance here, thank you for your time.

Hi @Erick Dominguez,

Welcome to the Atlassian Community.

You need to create a bitbucket.properties file and in it you can specify which port Bitbucket should listen to. See Changing the port that Bitbucket Server listens on for more information.

I did it, thanks a lot is taking the port 8080
My mistake was that I was creating the file on the installation/shared but the correct location is HOME-DIRECTORY/shared which is a different directory in my case

thanks for your help!

Hi @Mikael Sandberg 

Thanks for your quick response, I did it, I created the file on the following path:

shared/bitbucket.properties

and then I added the line 

server.port=8080

nevertheless it doesn't work, is there any way to ensure that Bitbucket is taking that port?

Thanks!
