{Tomcat installation folder}\webapps\ROOT

Change the Tomcat port number & start the server

Locate server.xml in {Tomcat installation folder}\conf

Find following similar statement

<Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8444" />

Change the Connector port=”8080″ port to any other port number.

<Connector port="8081" protocol="HTTP/1.1" connectionTimeout="20000" redirectPort="8444" />
