Hi Guys,

Hello guys,

I am trying install and use Nexus but I am having problem with few things. As per document

we cannot change the nexus-default.properties so I created another nexus.properties inside /nexus/etc/nexus.properties. But how the change will be implemented I changed my default port to 8085 in new nexus.properties instead of 8081 but it is still picking the default.properties instead 8081 where I need to make change to see the result ?

Nexus section

nexus.loadAsOSS=true

Nexus-default.properties

cat nexus-default.properties

DO NOT EDIT - CUSTOMIZATIONS BELONG IN $data-dir/etc/nexus.properties

Jetty section

application-port=8081
application-host=0.0.0.0
nexus-args=${jetty.etc}/jetty.xml,${jetty.etc}/jetty-http.xml,${jetty.etc}/jetty-requestlog.xml
nexus-context-path=/

Nexus section

nexus-edition=nexus-pro-edition
nexus-features=
nexus-pro-feature

Also I downloaded the oss version but nexus-edition is pro edition

Are we changin that to only

nexus.loadAsOSS=true

New -nexus.properties
