Network Configuration

By default, the repository manager listens on port 8081. You can change this port, by changing the value in the $NEXUS_HOME/conf/nexus.properties file shown in "Contents of conf/nexus.properties". To change the port, stop the repository manager, change the value of application-port in this file, and then restart it. Once you do this, you should see a log statement in $NEXUS_HOME/logs/wrapper.log telling you that the repository manager is listening on the altered port.
