[GeoNetwork-users] Changing the port number - put all procedure into the GAST in future version?

[Andrew W. <aw...@me...>]

Dear Users/developers,

Today I had to change the default port that Geonetwork uses (8080) and 
discovered it was not so simple as I had to hand edit an xml configuration file.

These are steps I had to do:

1) In the GAST I changed the jetty port number.

2) Started geonetwork logged in as the admin user, went to system configuration and
changed the geonetwork port.

3) I then stopped/started geonetwork but found that the map of the world
was not loading in the map viewer. I then seached the mail forum for a fix and found that you needed
to change the port number in the file geonetwork/web/intermap/WEB-INF/intermap/mapservers.xml.
This got everthing working (thanks Jeroen for your email "Subject: Installing Geonetwork for the first time").

After doing all this I thought it would be easier if this could all be done in the GAST program. This way
you would not be editing any files (could be error prone) and you would have to worry about 
stopping and starting geonetwork.

FYI I am running a modified version of Geonetwork v2.2.0 -svn revision 1153, using Jetty and McKoi db on a windows PC.
