FAQs

How to change port 8005 in Tomcat? ›

To check what service is using port 8005 you can open Command Prompt in Admin mode and run the following command: netstat -ano | findstr 8005.

Tomcat listens on TCP port 8005 to accept shutdown requests. By connecting to this port and sending the SHUTDOWN command, all applications within Tomcat are halted. The shutdown port is not exposed to the network as it is bound to the loopback interface.

By default, Tomcat listens on port 8080.

Use a browser to check whether Tomcat is running on URL http://localhost:8080 , where 8080 is the Tomcat port specified in conf/server. xml. If Tomcat is running properly and you specified the correct port, the browser displays the Tomcat homepage.

Enter "telnet + IP address or hostname + port number" (e.g., telnet www.example.com 1723 or telnet 10.17.xxx.xxx 5000) to run the telnet command in Command Prompt and test the TCP port status. If the port is open, only a cursor will show. If the port is closed, a message will say Connect failed.

Use netstat -anob to list all established and listening ports. The command "netstat -anob" shows all in-use ports and the binary (application) which use them. Example: In this example we see the process msg_server.exe which is listening on ports 3600 and 3900.

The " SCCM " back channel was configured to use port 8005 which is also Tomcat port where it listens for Shutdown requests.

How do I make sure my port is listening? ›

Tomcat uses TCP ports 8080, 8009, and 8005 by default.

By default, Tomcat is configured to use TCP port 8080.

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. After editing, you'll need to restart Tomcat.
