How to solve "Error running Tomcat server(Ubuntu): Port out of Range problem." problem?

  • 772

I am trying practice Java servlet where I need Tomcat server. I choose IntelliJ as my IDE which is throwing me popup message:

Screensot of the pop error message by Intellji.

I used this configuration: Screenshot image of IntelliJ Tomcat Local server configuration.

And this is what's inside Tomcat's server.xml file, where u can see the port number also matches with the one within IntelliJ. But the port numbers of JMX, HTTPS & AJP is not mentioned in this server file by default.

Now the main question is why IntelliJ is responding like this when everything 'looks' fine? Help me if u delt with this issue.

configuration server java tomcat 19.04

    Inside your Tomcat installation folder, go to
    "server.xml" (probably under /usr/share/tomcat{x}/conf/) file and change:

    <Server port="-1" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">

    to

    <Server port="8005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">

    As mentioned by of in this Jetbrains issue tacker page.

    Another important thing is: In the Deployment section, make sure to add Artifact like this: Screenshot of Tomcat Config page

    And again if u miss something, follow this page. And if u are in deeper other problem then follow this link where I discussed to solve Tomcat9 & IntelliJ 2019.1.3 integration in Ubuntu 19.04. It took me 5 days to resolve this issue.
