Tomcat Setup Error when changing port

Question

I'm setting up Tomcat server on my Mac. With the default port 8080 , the tomcat server started fine. But when i changed the port to 9999, I get the below error

 org.apache.tomcat.util.digester.Digester fatalError
SEVERE: Parse Fatal Error at line 70 column 21: Open quote is expected for attribute "{1}" associated with an  element type  "port".
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Open quote is expected for attribute "{1}" associated with an  element type  "port".
    at com.sun.org.apache.xerces.internal.util.ErrorHandlerWrapper.createSAXParseException(ErrorHandlerWrapper.java:195)

Below is my server.xml file

  <!-- A "Connector" represents an endpoint by which requests are received
         and responses are returned. Documentation at :

Use the following command to run tomcat

./catalina.sh run

That is easy ... please open this file in Notepad only .. there is a difference between the quote that u have used and the quote that Tomcat expects.

What it wants is this port="9999" And used a different quote port=“9999” Please see the difference in quote.
