Deploying Pebble on Shared Hosting

[Matthew Marlowe-3]

Hello,

I have a question.. I've recently tried to deploy pebble blog on a  
shared hosting service.. I am unable to access the site on port 8080  
though, probably due to hosting restrictions.. How can I change the  
port from 8080 to 80.. Is this possible?

Hi Matt,

if you're using a simple shared hosting service I think you can't do
anything regarding the server configuration in general. So whatever
server your provider is running for you (Tomcat ?), it's already to
configured to run on a specific port. From my (little) experience this
shouldn't make any difference for Pebble as it detects the URL you'r
connecting to automatically and uses this by default. So it doesn't
matter if you connecto to http://your.server.name/pebble/ or
http://your.server.name:8080/pebble/.

Was that helpful or did I get your question wrong? If you asked how to
change the port of the server from you're hosting provider, I guess
you're out of luck. In general you can't make such important changes to
the server configuration and in particular you'd need administrator or
root privileges to be able to start a server on port 80 (< 1024). And I
suspect that most shared hosting providers don't allow this for good
reasons ;-)

Thanks for the response.

I've learned the server is actually running on 9080 and not 8080.. Now  
I'm having an issue deploying pebble.  It won't fully start it seems,  
so I've asked the hosting provided for more information on how I can  
access the log files, etc.. to see why it's not starting up.

Well, obviously you could override the "pebbles.properties" file inside
the WEB-INF directory when pebble is deployed to edit the URL for your
blog. But as I already mentioned Pebbles should use auto-discovery to
determine the correct URL. So I don't think that the different port of
your provider alone is the problem. I guess your web app is not allowed
to create the directories and files in the Pebble usually uses to store
blog entries or at least that Pebbles can't determine the home directory
of the user running Tomcat (which is usually used to place the Pebbles
files). But maybe it's the easiest way to wait for an answer of your
provider before changing irrelevant configuration options etc.
