No Web connection defined...

Question

Hello gurus,
   I changed the http port of my Development server from 8000 to 8100 via profile parameter icm/server_port_0, Now when I try displaying a report on Web, a windows dialog box pops up stating that "This Server has no Web Connection Defined." I tried looking everywhere for the answer to this question. but in vain. The transaction SMICM shows that the ICM is active. However when I display Services (Shift + F1). There show two services, SMTP service which is active, while HTTP service, which is inactive. I tried activating the HTTP service manually, doesn't work.
   I even restarted the ICM locally as well as globally, soft and hard both, but in vain.
Any help would greatly be appreciated...
Thank you
Sree

Thankz for the reply aduri, but I found the reply on my own.
the answer is not that easy,
a bit complicated as shown below, if you have time, read it,
The function module RSBB_URL_PREFIX_GET is used to generate the URL in BW. That is, when you click "Launch in Web Browser" in the BEx Anaylzer, "Display Query on the Web" in the BEx Query Designer or "Execute in the browser" in the Web Application Designer, the function module is called and this returns the protocol, host, domain, port and service.
The function module essentially runs through three steps:
Determine the settings on the application server and generate the URL for the application server.
Determine the settings relating to the message server, provided that it is used, and replace the host and port of the application server URL with the values for the message server.
Check whether an exception is defined for the URL generated in the previous two steps, and, if required, replace the host and port with the values from the exception.
First, the application server settings are created. If a message server is used, the settings relating to host and port are replaced with the message server settings. If an exception is maintained, the host and port are replaced in turn by the exception.
Hence a simple conclusion to this problem is that you need to maintain an exception or an entry in the table HTTPURLLOC, this can be done via SE11. the following fields appear and use the entry as shown below...
Client    <default client>
Sort/Search/Match Sequence (First Match Wins)   <Can be Numerical numbers 1 2 3 etc, depending on the priority>
Protocol for URL (TRANSLATE TO UPPER CASE)   <http, https etc  (Whatever you want to be used in the url)>
Application Key (BSP=/BSP/Namespace/Name) (*=wildcard&UPPER)   <I don't know what does this mean and so used *>
Target Domain, (* = Wildcard & UPPER CASE)    <Used * here again.>
Host Name with Domain   <The hostname u want to appear in the address field>
Port Number    <The port number>
