Tomcat by default runs on port number 8080, However there is high chance get a port conflict with others program. Sometime we just need to change the Tomcat port number.
Steps of changing the Tomcat Port
1) Locate server.xml in {Tomcat installation folder}\ conf \
2) Find following similar statement
<!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8180 --> <Connector port="8080" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75" enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />
or
<!-- A "Connector" represents an endpoint by which requests are received and responses are returned. Documentation at : Java HTTP Connector: /docs/config/http.html (blocking & non-blocking) Java AJP Connector: /docs/config/ajp.html APR (HTTP/AJP) Connector: /docs/apr.html Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 --> <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />
3) About Tomcat’s server.xml file cites it’s runs on port 8080. Change the Connector port=”8080″ port to any other port number.
For example
<Connector port="8181" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8443" />
Above statement instruct Tomcat server runs on port 8181.
4) Edit and save the server.xml file. Restart Tomcat. Done

Hello I am so glad I found your weblog, I really found
you by mistake, while I was looking on Google for something else, Regardless I am here now and would just like to say thanks a lot
for a remarkable post and a all round entertaining blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to go through it all at the moment but I have saved it and also added in your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read more, Please do keep up the great work.
My coder is trying to convince me to move to .net from PHP.
I have always disliked the idea because of the expenses.
But he’s tryiong none the less. I’ve been using WordPress on
a number of websites for about a year and am anxious about switching to another platform.
I have heard great things about blogengine.net. Is there a way I can import all my
wordpress content into it? Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated!
Hi there are using WordPress for your site platform?
I’m new to the blog world but I’m trying to get started and create
my own. Do you require any coding expertise to make your own blog?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks for the article. But I wonder if it’s possible “not to give any port number”???
I mean:
At the beginning, My port was like:
http://localhost:8080/
<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000"
I could change the 8080 port to 8181 e.g. but it didn't work when I try not to set any.. like this:
<Connector port="" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000"
It gives me this error:
Access forbidden!
——————————————————————————–
New XAMPP security concept:
Access to the requested directory is only available from the local network.
This setting can be configured in the file "httpd-xampp.conf".
——————————————————————————–
Do you have any idea about not to set any port?
Thanks..

Hi.
I have a problem.
I’ve changed the port in server.xml because I have this port with other application.
I start tomcat server from catabalina.bat perfect in the new port.
I change the port for tomcat in XAMP.INI with the new port.
Restart the computer.
And I try again to start tomcat server from XAMP console but I see log as “Busy port – Tomcat 8080″.
The tomcat server start but I want to avoid this message in the xamp console.
What Can I do?
