How to change the port of Tomcat from 8080 to 80?

I want to execute my web app as http://localhost.

Solution

  • 1) Go to conf folder in tomcat installation directory

     e.g. C:\Tomcat 6.0\conf\

    2) Edit following tag in server.xml file

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

    3) Change the port=8080 value to port=80

    4) Save file.

    5) Stop your Tomcat and restart it.
