To change the context path:

1. Navigate to your home directory.
2. Stop Bitbucket. See Start and stop Bitbucket.

3. Open the shared/bitbucket.properties file, and add the server.context-path property. Set it to reflect the context path that you want Bitbucket to be accessible at. For example, to set the context path to /bitbucket you would add:

   server.context-path=/bitbucket

   Then save the file.

4. Start Bitbucket. See Start and stop Bitbucket.
   
   Bitbucket is now available at the same host as before, but under the new context path. For example, a server that was at http://localhost:7990 will now be reachable at http://localhost:7990/bitbucket.

5. Once started, go to > Server settings.

6. Append the new context path to your base URL:

   https://localhost:7990/bitbucket

7. Select Save.

Important considerations

If you're running Bitbucket behind Apache, 

• You need to make sure the host or context path that Bitbucket is exposed on is not also being used by another web application that is listening on a different port.
• If you updated the Bitbucket context path using the steps outlined above, you need to also update your Apache configuration, as described in Integrating Bitbucket with Apache HTTP Server.

If you had Application Links set up before changing the context path in Bitbucket, you have to recreate those using the new Bitbucket URL. See Link Bitbucket with Jira.

If you use SSH, the context path does not affect the URL at which SSH operations occur. After changing the context path so that Bitbucket is accessible at https://localhost:7990/bitbucket, SSH operations occur without the context path at ssh://my-bitbucket-hostname:7999.
