Hi,

I am using Tomcat v 5.5.23 and want to run the server as a Windows service
(tomcat5.exe) on a port other than the default port of 8080.  Is it possible
to install Tomcat as a service and configure it so that it runs on a
different port?

While we can configure Tomcat and run it on a different port when we are in
console mode (startup.bat or catalina run), but as a service it doesn't seem
possible to change the default port.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks.

That's a really easy one, even I can answer :

In your Tomcat installation directory, look for the subdirectory "conf", and in it the file "server.xml".

Locate this bit :

    <Connector port="8180" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
       maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
       enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
       connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />

and change it to :

    <Connector port="9180" maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
       maxThreads="150" minSpareThreads="25" maxSpareThreads="75"
       enableLookups="false" redirectPort="8443" acceptCount="100"
       connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true" />

(i.e. the port= attribute, whatever it is and whatever you want).
Then start (or restart) the Tomcat service.
