I changed the port to 9009 but still the Tomcat starts on 8084. Why is this?

Question

I edited the server.xml file of the tomcat (V:7) and changed the port to 9009 :

    <Connector port="9009" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
           connectionTimeout="20000" 
           redirectPort="8443" />

But still when I start the server,it starts on 8084. Why is that ? Did I edit the wrong thing ?

Let me notify that earlier the port value was = 8080 !. So the matter could be different.

But I have another version of tomcat installed (V:6).In that I have edited the file as :

<Connector port="7172" protocol="HTTP/1.1" 
           connectionTimeout="20000" 
           redirectPort="8443" />

In this case the server runs on port : 7172. In this case it seems to be fine.

What is the matter with the former case ?

If you accept more answers I think your Tomcat server will work better :) — David, Jul 23 '12 at 14:57

kill your server then run netstat or equivalent to check if the port you need is not used before assigning it to tomcat.
