Configuring the web application host name, port, and context

This section describes how to change the host name, port, and context for the Web Quick Start web application.

The Web Quick Start installation assumes that the web application has been deployed to localhost on port 8080, using the context of wcmqs. This means that the editorial website can be accessed at http://localhost:8080/wcmqs. The "live" website can be accessed as default on http://127.0.0.1:8080/wcmqs.

If you are not running the web application on port 8080 or if the web application is deployed to a different container or host, you can configure the site to the required location.

  1. In the Web Quick Start site, navigate to the Document Library.
  2. Click Edit Metadata on either the Quick Start Editorial folder, or the Quick Start Live folder.
  3. Configure the Host Name, Port, and Web App Context fields to point to the location your web application (wcmqs.war).
  4. Click Submit.
