Changing Synchrony Port Problem

Neil Anthony Morada

Hi All,

 

I am trying to change our confluence synchrony port from 8091 to 8092.

I include this command to confluence/bin/setenv.sh

CATALINA_OPTS="-Dsynchrony.port=8092 ${CATALINA_OPTS}"

I also stop the confluence before adding this line and start it after but it seems that it dont have any effect on our confluence. The synchrony port is still on 8091. Can anyone tell me what is wrong on my steps? Thank you!

This is a long shot, but as it's fixed this for me a few times, can you try forcing your Confluence to re-read all the Synchrony config?

In theory, you only need to change the Catalina options and restart it all, exactly as you have, but for some unknown reason, this does not always work immediately, despite the restart.  (My best guess is a cache or temporary file being reloaded, but that really is a guess).

Could you try:

• log into Confluence as an Admin 
• go to Admin -> Collaborative Editing
• turn it off, and save the changes
• make sure it really is off by editing a page somewhere (no need to save, just check behaviour)
• turn it back on and save the changes

This should land us in one of three places:

• Worst case: doesn't work, doesn't change port, no logs
• Middling case: doesn't work, doesn't change port, but more stuff in the logs to tell us why
• Best case: it starts working with the new port

My success rate with that is around 60%, the other 40% got me logs telling me firewalls, dns or network routing didn't like my new port
