How to change tomcat port number

Tomcat will be by default configured to run on port 8080, sometimes our system/machine may already using port 8080. so that time we need to change the port.

Following simple steps help to change the tomcat port. but before changing make sure a new port is in used.

check used ports from machine/system: netstat –aon ( run this from command prompt) then choose which is not used from range.
For example, if 9090 is not in use.

Updation steps:

•       Go to tomcat_home>conf folder
•       Edit server.xml
•       Search for "Connector port"

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1"

connectionTimeout="20000"

 redirectPort="8443" />

•       Replace "8080" by your port number ex: 9090

               <Connector port="9090" protocol="HTTP/1.1"

               connectionTimeout="20000"

               redirectPort="8443" />

•       Restart tomcat server
