I think this is because my port is used. My port 8080 is used so I try the port 8181 I have no application on the port 8181

in the tomcat server.xml I set the port to 8181 but the problem persist

I find this post:

Alternate port for Tomcat (not 8080) when starting with Maven?

But I have the same problem after launching mvn -Dmaven.tomcat.port=8181 tomcat:run-war

I don't realy understand how to maven is linked to the tomcat server This is my pom.xml

Thanks for your help


Spring Boot uses embedded Tomcat by default, but it handles it differently without using tomcat-maven-plugin. To change the port use --server.port parameter for example:

java -jar target/gs-serving-web-content-0.1.0.jar --server.port=8181

Update. Alternatively put server.port=8181 into application.properties (or application.yml).


Run the following command to search for the process that is using the port

lsof -i :<portNumber> | grep LISTEN

in your case this will be --> 

lsof -i :8080 | grep LISTEN
java    78960 xyxss  119u  IPv6 0x6c20d372bc88c27d      0t0  TCP *:8092 (LISTEN)

The 78960 is the process id, use the following command to kill the process

kill -9 78960

Launch the application again.


Configure another port number(eg:8181) in /src/main/resources/application.properties

server.port=8181
