Changing the default port number in Apache Tomcat

I had to run two webservers on my machine at the same time. Since both of them used port 8080 , the easiest way to run the two servers at the same time was to modify the port number on one of them.

Here is how we can change the port number in Apache Tomcat:

1. Navigate to : Apache Software Foundation\Tomcat X.X\conf



2. Modify the Server.xml file:

<!-- Define a non-SSL HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->
<Connector port="8080" ... />

Modify this to another non-conflicting port ( I changed it to 8888)
