How to Change the Default port of Jira if the Jira is already installed.

Question

Hi Community,

At the time of installation, we used the Default port of Jira. But now due to some concerns, we want to change the port number from 8080 to custom. I know we can modify the server.xml file and but now the concern is I saw documentation from Atlassian in that they have modified 2 ports one is the "Shutdown Port" and the Second is the "Listening Port". Is it Mandatory to modify the port number of "Shutdown" also??

Regards,

Mayur
