Tomcat Crash due to port 8005 conflict in Windows Environment (2024)
During SAP BO or any other product Installation which requires Apache Service, Tomcat get installed. Tomcat is a popular open-source Java Servlet Container that is widely used to deploy web applications. One common issue that users may encounter is that the Tomcat server may crash when the SMS Agent Host service is using the same port (8005) This Port is used by either Tomcat Shutdown server or Connector Port.
Here are some steps that you can take to resolve this issue:
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.
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.
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.
Edit the Tomcat server.xml configuration file, the locaiton of the file might depend on the way that you've installed Tomcat, but popular locations are at /opt/tomcat/conf/ or /etc/tomcat VERSION.
After that find the <Connector port="8080" protocol="HTTP/1.1" line, and change the port from 8080 to 80.
