I'm trying to configure Web Adaptor for ArcGIS Server mantaining the URL of the GIS Server along with the port that is being used.
The actual conditions are:
- http://%hostname%:6080/arcgis/rest/services
So, if I install Web Adaptor with the default configurations the URL changes to:
- http://%hostname%/arcgis/rest/services
My needs are to change just the Web Adaptor name like this:
- http://%hostname%:6080/othername/rest/services
How can I achieve this?

Hi Marco,
How to install the Web Adaptor
Note:
A message will display if a virtual directory with the same name as the Web Adaptor already exists in the selected website. Click OK to close the message and enter a different name for the Web Adaptor.
However the port no. won't be displayed.
Thanks,
Jay
Hi Marco,
I don't believe what you're describing is possible.
When a client accesses your ArcGIS Server instance with the port number (6080 or 6443) included in the URL, you are effectively bypassing the Web Adaptor and are communicating directly with the internal Apache/Gernomio web server that ArcGIS Server runs on.
That web server "tier" is separate from the one where the Web Adaptor is installed (e.g. IIS). The "arcgis" portion of this internal web server's URL is not configurable, at least not to my knowledge.

You won't be able to have 2 web servers (ArcServer and IIS) listening on the same port...or at least you shouldn't...
You should have 2 options here:
1) Put your web adaptor on another server (if you want to maintain port 6080)
2) Change the port to 80 and use IIS on the same box.
You can configure IIS to listen on 6080, but it should probably be on a different box. The only way it might work on the same box is if you have domain filtering on. So, instead of using http://mybox:6080/arcgis, you would need something like http://gissubdomain.mydomain.com:6080. This would filter only the requests to that subdomain on that port.
What is the reason you want to keep 6080? The other alternative is just don't use the webadaptor and point straight at the box.
