Hi everybody ,

I want to share with you the issue that I have which is the way to use bonita community in my company.  
Do you think if it is possible for me to change url [http://adrIP:8080/bonita](http://adrIP:8080/bonita) to [http://workshop.drak.corp](http://workshop.drak.corp)

I really have a serious problem knowing that I want to ease the situation to users.

I will be very pleased to accept your help.

Best regards

There are a copy of ways of doing this the easiest is to use a company DNS, which you might already have.

Have a look at:

[http://computer.howstuffworks.com/dns.htm](http://computer.howstuffworks.com/dns.htm)

Otherwise you could just change the name of the server… to _workshop.drak.corp_ however if you just do that you will end up with

[http://workshop.drak.corp:8080/bonita](http://workshop.drak.corp:8080/bonita)

to change the default Port (8080) you can follow this link

[http://www.mkyong.com/tomcat/how-to-change-tomcat-default-port/](http://www.mkyong.com/tomcat/how-to-change-tomcat-default-port/)

Make sure nothing is using Port 80 first.

This will give you a address of…

[http://workshop.drak.corp/bonita](http://workshop.drak.corp/bonita)

Leaving the name in helps to ensure good support when you ask them what URL they are using, you might for example what to add another application to the same server.

[http://workshop.drak.corp/mytherApplication1](http://workshop.drak.corp/mytherApplication1)  
[http://workshop.drak.corp/mytherApplication2](http://workshop.drak.corp/mytherApplication2)  
etc.

though this is not recommended and you would definitely need a DNS to allow the URLs to point at different servers.

Hope this helps,
