By default, Tomcat listens on port 8080. To change the port to 80 or some other port, we will have to modify the Server.xml file that contains the Tomcat configuration.
- To edit the Server.xml file, go to Conf folder under Tomcat installation directory ($Tomcat_Directory\Conf)
- Open the server.xml files in notepad or any other editing application.
- Locate the section that starts with <Connector.
It will look like:
<Connector URIEncoding="UTF-8" acceptCount="100" connectionTimeout="20000"
disableUploadTimeout="true" enableLookups="false" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxSpareThreads="75" maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" port="8080"
redirectPort="8443" />
- In the above section, edit the part that says port=”8080” to the port number you want. For example, for port 80, it would be port=”80”
- Restart the Tomcat service.
