The port number can be changed in the tomcat_home/conf/server.xml file.
The element to be modified is
<Connector className="org.apache.tomcat.service.PoolTcpConnector">
This could be because if tomcat is used as a container for servlets with
another
web server like apache or IIS, there would a contention for the 80 port
number.

Subject: why must I add the port number
Hi, I have installed tomcat as a standalone webserver on Win 2000.
To get a page or a servlet I have to type e.g.
http://localhost:8080/examples/servlet/helloWorldExample
but why must I include the port? Isn`t it the standard http port as in all
other webservers? If the port number is missing I get "Cannot find server"
and "The page cannot be displayed"
Thanks
