For public instance?

[Mahesh_Vikram]

Hi,

-> I have extracted author instance cq-author-p4502.jar , it has created crx-quickstart.

->Now i am copying the above crx-quickstart from author directory to publish directory, and i have made some changes in START by editing the port no to 4053 and RUNMODE to PUBLISH.

Can i do this.

I would use the -unpack option, then change the start.bat file.

Here you can change the port and the runmode (4503,publish)

Personally I'd just start over with a jar file named cq-publish-p4503.jar. If you haven't started up your the author instance yet and just have it as it was unpacked it would probably work (although I have never tried it). Once you start up the author instance however I wouldn't use that as a starting point - the initial start up process will potentially load an number of author specific configurations which you don't want on a publish instance. 

Safest thing to do though is start over.
