Port Numbers Clarification During Portal Installation

Question

I have installed Portal 9.x. My infrastructure port is set at 7777 and my midtier port is set at 7779. This is how it was configured during the configuration stage.
Therefore shouldn't I be able to access Portal through the port 7777? Did I do any wrong thing when I installed?.
If I did then is there a way to change the port from 7779 to 7777 so that I can access it via 7777?
Thanks.

There are instructions on Metalink for changing the port numbers but they are spread out and hard to find and pick the right ones. I have gotten 2 files that I use to change my port numbers. Here they are:
How to Change the Port used for Oracle 9iAS Portal 9.0.x
1. Add the New port to Web Cache and map to the OHS (Apache)
a. Login to Webcache as an admin user
b. Select the Listening Ports link
c. Click the Add button, and use these settings to create the additional port
I. For Cache: <Select the webcache in use>
II. IP Address: ANY
III. Port Number: 80
IV. Protocol: HTTP
V. Wallet: <Leave null>
d. Select the Site to Server Mapping link
e. Select the radio button for the top entry (Priority 1) and click the button Insert Above
f. Select the radio button for Enter Site Name, and enter the following
I. Host Name: <Your ServerName directive from OHS (Apache)>
II. Port Number: 80
g. Check the box the HTTP entry located under the Select Application Web Servers Section
h. Accept Remainder of Defaults and click the Submit button
i. Click the Apply Changes button in the upper right of the screen
2. Restart the WebCache Server
3. Add a Partner Application to the Oracle 9iAS Single Signon for the new port using ptlasst script in SSOPARTNERCONFIG mode
(Passwords required may be lookup in OID using the note referenced below)
/u01/ora9portal/assistants/opca/ptlasst.csh -i custom -mode SSOPARTNERCONFIG \
-s <portalSchema> -sp <portalPassWord> -c <iasinfraServerName:1521:iasdb> \
-sdad <portalDad> -o <ssoSchema> -odad <ssoDad> -host <apacheServerName> \
-port 80 -silent -verbose -sso_c <iasinfraServerName:1521:iasdb> \
-sso_h <OHSServerName> -sso_p <ssoWebPort> \
-pa <ssoPartnerAppSchema> -pap <ssoPartnerAppSchemaPassWord> \
-ps <ssoProcessStoreSchema> -pp <ssoProcessStoreSchemaPassword> \
-p_tns <tnsConnectStringtoInfraDB> -s_tns <tnsConnectStringtoInfraDB> \
-iasname <iasMiddleTierInstanceName>
Here is an example on a Unix Server
/u01/ora9portal/assistants/opca/ptlasst.csh -i custom -mode SSOPARTNERCONFIG \
-s portal -sp W18Wqn49 -c www.oracle.com:1521:iasdb \
-sdad portal -o orasso -odad orasso -host www.oracle.com \
-port 80 -silent -verbose -sso_c www.oracle.com:1521:iasdb \
-sso_h www.oracle.com -sso_p 7777 \
-pa orasso_pa -pap A2u3g00t \
-ps orasso_ps -pp BRKU0C6a \
-p_tns iasdb -s_tns iasdb \
-iasname iasmid.www.oracle.com
4. Modify the httpd.conf file located in the 9iAS Middle tier home to use port 80
a. Edit the httpd.conf file and change the Port directive to 80
Port 80
b. Do NOT modify the Listen directive in the file
5. Restart the http server in the Middle Tier
The port has now been modified and the site may be accessed using Port 80.
6. Login to Portal as an admin user, and reset the SSO Server Settings
a. Login to Portal as portal
b. Select the Builder link
c. Select the Administer tab
d. Select the Global Settings link
e. Select the SSO/OID tab
f. Under the SSO Server Settings section, modify the Query Path URL Prefix to use the correct sso port.
The SSO Server is usually running on Port 7777, but creating the partner application would also change this port to 80.
g. Select the apply, and ok buttons
I use this for Running the script above:
Windows Script to Determine orasso Password in 9iAS Release 2 (9.0.2)
1. Paste the following script in a file named showPassword.bat and copy it in
a directory. Please also ensure that ldapserach is there in PATH on your
widnows machine.
8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<
set OIDHOST=bldel18.in.oracle.com
set OIDPORT=4032
if "%1"== "" goto cont
if "%2"== "" goto cont
ldapsearch -h %OIDHOST% -p %OIDPORT% -D "cn=orcladmin" -w "%1" -b "cn=IAS Infrastructure
Databases,cn=IAS,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext" -s sub "orclResourceName=%2"
orclpasswordattribute
goto :end
:cont
echo Correct Syntax is
echo showpassword.bat orcladminpassword username
:end
8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<8<
Note that the "ldapsearch...orclpasswordattribute" commands should be put on
one line.
2. Edit the script and update with your own hostname and OID port
OIDHOST=bldel18.in.oracle.com
OIDPORT=4032
3. Ensure that you have ldapsearch from the correct ORACLE_HOME in the PATH
4. Check that OID is up and running before proceeding.
5. Run the script, and enter the schema name as: orasso, and the password value
is shown.
For example:
(all ONE line...may be easier to copy/paste from Notepad)
C:\> showPassword.bat oracle1 orasso
OrclResourceName=ORASSO,orclReferenceName=iasdb.bldel18.in.oracle.com,cn=IAS Inf
rastructure Databases,cn=IAS,cn=Products,cn=OracleContext
orclpasswordattribute=Gbn3Fd24
The orasso password in this example is Gbn3Fd24.
