    How to change Tomcat port

      I'm using the JBoss-2.4.4-Tomcat-4.0.1 integrated package and I'm having trouble changing the port tomcat uses from 8080 to 80. Normally, modifying the server.xml would work, but it doesn't get read with the embedded Tomcat.

      I've also tried to change it in the embeddedTomcat mbean through the management console on port 8082, but it doesn't work and gets set back to port 8080 on restart.

      Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks.

          JBoss will not read the server.xml of catalina(tomcat4),
          you can change the jboss.jcml file to config the port,
          find the mbean in jboss.jcml as following,



          then change it as following,


          80


          after you restart the JBoss, you will find that the port
          is changed to 80.

            Could you explain what this does?

            > code="org.jboss.web.catalina.EmbeddedCatalinaServiceSX
            > name="DefaultDomain:service=EmbeddedTomcat">
            > 8080
            > 8443
            >
            > tor
            > className="org.apache.catalina.connector.http.HttpConn
            > ctor"
            > port="8080" minProcessors="5"
            > Processors="5" maxProcessors="75"
            > enableLookups="true"
            > Lookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
            > acceptCount="10" debug="0"
            > "10" debug="0" connectionTimeout="60000"/>

              dplante,

              Use syzero's answer if you just want to change the http port. The second configuration setups both an http and https port (but there are quite a few additional things you would need to do to setup the SSL port).

              HTH,

                when I added
                80


                I found the same problem, the console message is;
                [Service Control] Registered with server

                [Default] Shutting down

                maybe because the version is 2.2.2,shall I migrate to 2.4.3?

                  Shouldn't this be on a FAQ? I mean this is such an obvious question and so hard to figure out for a beginner
                  (it's not like you can grep for 80 or 8080 and find it in the configuration files)
