XAMPP Tomcat/Error starting Tomcat

java

Solution

Go to https://youtu.be/JmmaeS7UZRk youtube link for better understanding:

we need to create an Environment Variable "JAVA_HOME". and give the vale as JDK installation directory path. Ex: "C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.8.0_66"

we need to create an Environment Variable "JRE_HOME". and give the vale as JRE installation directory path. Ex: "C:\Program Files\Java\jre1.8.0_66"

Go to your "tomcat" installation directory and then "conf" folder. Ex: "C:\xampp\tomcat\conf".

Edit these given files with these values: i) open server.xml file which is located inside conf folder. Go to line number "70" and change the "port" number "8080" as something else for example "9999" and save it. ii) open context.xml file which is located inside "conf" folder and go to line number "19" and change `<Context>` tag as `<Context reloadable="true">` and save it.

close the "XAMPP" App and restart it.

Now go to the "Config" Option inside "XAMPP" application i.e top right corner of the XAMPP app. then go to the "Service and Port Settings" then go to the "Tomcat" tab and put "9999" as the "HTTP Port" value and save it. Not restart XAMPP.

Now try to start "Tomcat" Server.

Open your browser and type localhost:9999 in the browser url and hit enter.
