As we briefly mentioned earlier, the <geronimo_home>/var/config/config-substitutions.properties lets you specify a totally new set of ports as well as to define an automatic port offset for when you run multiple servers (or instances of the same server). This file also allows you to set some cluster related parameters such as clusterName, clusterNodeName, etc. Visit the Clustering section configuration for more details on how to configure a web application cluster in Geronimo.

Although this section is focusing on the changing these settings by updating a properties file, there is an alternative way by using the Geronimo Administration Console which is explained in more detail under the Administration Configuring and administering section. However, if you have port conflicts at start up time the Geronimo Administration Console will not be available, so we have to focus on configuring the config-substitutions.properties file.

There are a number of reasons why you may want to use other port numbers than those provided by default. Most common startup problems are in fact associated with port conflicts, you can use monitoring utilities like Active Ports that will quickly tell you what application/process is using what port so you can customize Geronimo's ports accordingly. Of course you can always use something like netstat -nab | grep -i list to get the ports in use along with what application is holding that port.
