This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
In previous netbeans releases, we have changed the default port number and admin port number in the bundled tomcat to avoid clashes with existing installations. Even if the current implementation is smart about changing those two ports if they happen to be in use, the user will have problem if they start the IDE before they start the preconfigured server so it's better to choose something that is unlikely to clash with an existing app
I assume that you mean to change the default to 8082. I can do that.
That is the default for the internal HTTP server so I suggest using something else. In previous releases we have used 8081, though it might have been better to use something that's not commonly used. Please change the admin port for the server. I think the server default is 8015? The error message if there is a clash is cryptic (I'm thinking of users who start their own TC installation after they have run the IDE).
default for server port is 8084, admin 8025
