Spring cloud client trying to run on server port 8888

The config server is up and the client is able to fetch the properties from config server.

HTTP GET http://localhost:8888/account-service/dev/config
Accept=[application/json, application/*+json]
Response 200 OK

But the problem is, client service is trying to start on config server port 8888. I have set server.port=8080 in the client but still not working.

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START
***************************

Description:

Web server failed to start. Port 8888 was already in use.

Am I missing any configuration here? Highly appreciate any help.

Config server application.properties,

spring.application.name=config-server
spring.cloud.config.profiles=dev 
spring.cloud.config.server.git.uri=REPO_URL
server.port=8888
Solution

  • Finally, I was able to find the solution. When I was trying to start client service, server.port was also getting overridden with config server port. I added server.port=8080 in the properties file for the client service profile in config repo (account-service.properties) and it worked.
