Is that so hard?
You can change in the Website associated with the ProductStore (80 and 443 are
default HHTP/S port and will not show in URLs)
for instance
https://demo-trunk.ofbiz.apache.org/content/control/EditWebSite?webSiteId=WebStore
You can also change in url.properties (all websites, the previous setting
surcharges url.properties, or url.properties is a fallback
if you prefer)
This is a solution limited to 1 OFBiz instance
If you need more, and in most cases anyway, it's better to use a FrontEnd like
Apache HTTPD

HTTPD works also on Windows
BTW what is your situation now regarding

Note: prefer Postgres under Mysql

Is it even possible?
Thanks

Mandeep. Nice looking site.
Regarding your issue, you REALLY want to use apache using mod_jk in front
of ofbiz. Here is why:
1) You can offload the processing of images to apache (less load on ofbiz)
2) You can easily set cache timeouts for images, css, and other static
content.
3) You can easily add a normal HTML static pages (/static/*.html) w/o
using
ofbiz
4) It is easier to offload SSL certificate management to apache
5) You can setup gzip compression (DEFLATE)
6) You can load balance to multiple instances of ofbiz via apache mod-jk.
7) Apache runs as the user 'nobody' (not root). Ofbiz can do the same.
8) Most Important: You can add security to your site by locking out admin
links.
Regarding #8. If you are running an ecommerce site, you DON'T want people
from the internet to even attempt to gain access (i.e. login as 'admin' to
'catalog'). Do you think amazon.com allows 'admin' login to the backend
from their main site? Absurd to even ask. This is basic internet
security.
Instead, have front-end machines that serve ecommerce, and have back-end
machines that allows access to /catalog, etc. via a VPN, or a local
subnet.
I have found that this setup runs faster, and you have more flexibility.
Here is a sample apache (port 80) configuration file:....
