How to change tomcat portnumber

Tomcat will run by default on TCP/IP port number 8080. Standard web sites use the port number 80 instead. IF you don't have other web servers running on your machine, you may want to change this setting. 

This document tells you how to do this on Tomcat version 3.3. Please note : These instructions may not work for other versions of Tomcat.

Let's go!

1. Open the folder tomcat\conf  on your computer

2. Now with a text editor you have to open and modify server.xml . Here you have to identify the following line (line 184) and you modify it so that changes from:

<Http10Connector port="8080 "
secure="false"
maxThreads="100"
maxSpareThreads="50"
minSpareThreads="10" />

to:

<Http10Connector port="80 "
secure="false"
maxThreads="100"
maxSpareThreads="50"
minSpareThreads="10" />

3. Startup the web server and access it now using:

http://localhost/
