How to change Apache Tomcat web server port number

Simple !!... you can do it easily via server.xml

• Go to tomcat>conf folder
• Edit server.xml
• Search "Connector port"
• Replace "8080" by your port number
• Restart tomcat server.

You are done!.

Navigate to /tomcat-root/conf folder. Within you will find the server.xml file.

Open the server.xml in your preferred editor. Search the below similar statement (not exactly same as below will differ)

    <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
           connectionTimeout="20000" 
           redirectPort="8443" />

Going to give the port number to 9090

     <Connector port="9090" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
           connectionTimeout="20000" 
           redirectPort="8443" />

Save the file and restart the server. Now the tomcat will listen at port 9090
