Running Tomcat as a Service on Non-default port
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.

From: Kamal Sheikh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Running Tomcat as a Service on Non-default port Is it possible to install Tomcat as a service and configure it so that it runs on a different port? Ports are configured in the Connector element(s) in conf/server.xml; a restart of Tomcat is required when changing port numbers. If the service doesn't reflect what you're editing, then the service is using a Tomcat installation different from what you think. - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.

Locate this bit : Connector port=8180 maxHttpHeaderSize=8192 maxThreads=150 minSpareThreads=25 maxSpareThreads=75 enableLookups=false redirectPort=8443 acceptCount=100 connectionTimeout=2 disableUploadTimeout=true / and change it to : Connector port=9180 maxHttpHeaderSize=8192 maxThreads=150 minSpareThreads=25 maxSpareThreads=75 enableLookups=false redirectPort=8443 acceptCount=100 connectionTimeout=2 disableUploadTimeout=true / (i.e. the port= attribute, whatever it is and whatever you want). Then start (or restart) the Tomcat service. André - To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
