This is something that has been "bothering" me for a while and I just can't seem to find a clear answer for it.
What is the reasoning behind JIRA using port 8080 instead of the default 80 (HTTP-non S)?
I can understand this being needed in a multi tenant environment but other than that it just doens't make sense in my mind to use 8080 as a default port.
What's everybody's take on this? Are you actually using port 8080 (and perhaps using a reverse proxy to redirect) or did you change it to a more common sense 80/433?
Would you love to hear your thoughts on this.
Great!
That clears things up. I'm working mainly in a windows environment and there we don't really need to take this in to account.
