server.port in bitbucket.properties has no effect

Bob Rzadzki

Trying to setup Bitbucket Server behind an IIS reverse proxy and running into some trouble. I've updated my bitbucket.properties file with "server.port=8443" per the instructions here:

https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/secure-bitbucket-with-tomcat-using-ssl-776640127.html

But when I run start-bitbucket.bat to test, I see "starting server on port 7990."

Why is the server.port setting having no effect?

 

Bitbucket Server 6.2.0

Hi @Bob Rzadzki ,

first of all check if you're managing bitbucket.properties file in the correct path BITBUCKET_HOME_FOLDER/shared/bitbucket.properties (read here)

Please verify that you correctly restarted the application. 

For a reverse proxy configuration I know that there are two different ports, one for the application and one for the reverse proxy.

Here an example of my current configuration :

server.port=7990
server.context-path=/bitbucket

server.proxy-name=YOUR_PROXY_NAME_EXAMPLE_mydomain.com
server.proxy-port=8443
server.scheme=https
server.secure=true

Hope this helps,

Fabio
