Change SharePoint 2010 Web Application Port Number
Recently, I had to move an existing SharePoint 2010 web application from the default port to a new port. This is relatively easy to do but does require two steps. The first is a change made in Central Administration; the second is done in IIS Manager. Here are the steps I followed:
Step 1
In SharePoint Central Administration:
· Click Application Management
· Click Configure Alternate Access Mapping
· Click the web application you are trying to alter
· Change the port number by altering the URL; Save
Step 2
In IIS Manager:
· Select the SharePoint site that corresponds with the web application above
· Click Bindings…
· Select the current port; click Edit; change the port number; Save
