How to change the port number of the Tomcat Server

In this blog I am going to share how to resolve the issue in a simplest way.

Before going into the problem just learn about what is port number.

A port number is used to identify the specified process. A port number is an endpoint for the communication. In TCP/IP and UDP networks, a port is an endpoint to a logical connection and the way a client program specifies a specific server program on a computer in a network. … Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the IANA, and these are called the “well-known ports” which are specified in RFC 1700.

By using simple steps we are going to change the Tomcat server port number and solve the issue.

Step1:

In the IDE work space go to server tab and double click on it.

Step 2:

Choose HTTP/1.1 in the port name and number box appears in the work space.

Remove the old port number and give new port number.

Step 3 :

Save the file and start the server.
