How to change the jasperserver URL?

[nitinsahu]

Hi Guys,

How can we change the default jasperserver URL? I'm using Jasper server 4.1.0. I want to change the url address from http://localhost:8080/jasperserver-pro to http://localhost:8080/biserver.

Simply changing the folder name will help ?

Any help in this regard will be higly appreciated...

 

Thanks in advance

Regards,

You could just not worry about that name and set up a proxy (e.g. apache, nginx) in front of it which you can call what you like and not have to worry about the port 8080 part either. I run it at a URL like http://jasper.example.com/ which is a proxy to http://localhost:8080/jasperserver

During installation, change default name of webAppNamePro of default_master.properties.

# web app name

# (set one of these to deploy to a non-default war file name)

# webAppNameCE = jasperserver

# webAppNamePro = jasperserver-pro

Thanks for the response... I was just wondering what if I have already installed the server?

 

Proxy we don't want to setup as it has some security issues. is there any other way of solving the issue.

If you use Tomcat, I think you need to do this:

Code:

1. Change the directory name of the <tomcat>/webapps/jasperserver to <tomcat>/webapps/mynewname.2. Open <tomcat>/webapps/mynewname/WEB-INF/web.xml and change this element:FROM: <param-value>jasperserver.root</param-value>TO: <param-value>mynewname.root</param-value>3. Delete <tomcat>\conf\Catalina\localhost\jasperserver.xml.4. Delete <tomcat>\work directory.5. Restart Tomcat.

Thanks for the reply... I'm actually using jasperserver's professional edition 4.1.0. So in my case it is jasperserver-pro.root but don't you think this will impact jasper server. As I found in many places jasper is using jasperserver-pro.root as variable. For example <tomcat>/webapps/mynewname/WEB-INF/log4j.properties.

I just changed the folder name and deleted work directory and temp directory. It worked like champ. Thanks guys!

 

I tested reports, dashboard and also exported and imported reports working fine for me.

 

Thanks All!
