  <p>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</p>
  
  <p>in the tomcat server.xml I set the port to 8181 but the problem persist</p>
  
  <p>I find this post:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/646649/alternate-port-for-tomcat-not-8080-when-starting-with-maven">Alternate port for Tomcat (not 8080) when starting with Maven?</a></p>
  
  <p>But I have the same problem  after launching mvn -Dmaven.tomcat.port=8181 tomcat:run-war</p>
  
  <p>I don't realy understand how to maven is linked to the tomcat server
  This is my pom.xml</p>
