By default Tomcat is configured to run on ports 8080 and 8443. There are a couple of reasons for this. 1.) Tomcat, in its early days was almost always run behind another web server like Apache HTTPD which would already be bound to ports 80 and 443 2.) On *nix machines only applications started by the root user can bind to ports under 1025 and application servers shouldn't be run as root
If you want to run Tomcat on the default ports on a windows box, simply edit server.xml. Look for the <Connector ... /> entries and you will find the port attributes.

You should consider using a proxy on your server. There is a really good tutorial at apache.org, using an Apache Web Server. This enables you to connect to your server via port 80, which is not printed in the url bar of your browser. So, now it works both with and without the port.
A very basic example to change port 8080 to 80 would be:
Stop tomcat service.
Goto Tomcat/conf and take a backup of server.xml file. Open server. xml and you will find entries like <Connector port="8080" and <Connector executor="8080". Change port from 8080 to 80 . ( ...
If you don't give an explicit port number in the URL the browser uses default port numbers: 80 for http:// and ws:// , 443 for https:// and wss:// , 21 for ftp:// . In other cases there are fixed port numbers, i.e. the mail server is always at port 25 and the DNS MX record only returns the name but not the port.
1 Answer. The URL scheme "https://" implies port 443 by default. If you want to use a different port number, such as 8443, that port number must be in the URL; web browsers will not let you hide it. To remove the port number from the URL, you must run the server on port 443.
The HTTP standard port number is 80, not 8080. Hence, if you want to "hide" the port number, you will have to make sure that the URL is accessible through port 80 instead and then you can leave it out of the URL (which will probably happen automatically for port 80).
You can't "hide" the port number. A URL isn't primarily something to be displayed, it's something used to make a request. That's why it's called a Uniform Resource Locator. As Imran has pointed out, you can reconfigure Tomcat to listen on Port 80 - assuming that no other server such as Apache or IIS is using it.
Step 1: Identify the process using port 8080. The first step in resolving the “Port 8080 already in use” error is to identify the process that's currently using the port. ...
Step 2: Terminate the process using sudo kill -9. ...
By default, Apache Tomcat runs on port 8080. In some cases, this port may already be taken by another process, or requirements may state that we have to use a different port.
