Java Forum / General / October 2007Run TomCat on port 80?
How can I get TomCat to run on port 80? I'm not interested in having apache serve static content, I just want Tomcat to serve everything. So I'm not too interested in mod_jk to hook Apache up with tomcat. Thanks > How can I get TomCat to run on port 80?

Apache gets around this by binding to 80 as root and then dropping to a non-privileged account based on the contents of httpd.conf. Running Tomcat as root should give you pause, at the very least. > > How can I get TomCat to run on port 80?

But that sucks! :( If you're running Solaris 10, you can use a non-root account by granting it the PRIV_NET_PRIVADDR privilege. This allows processes running under that account to bind low-numbered ports without allowing them to do other rootly things. "man -s5 privileges" (if applicable).

Not all OS's have "root" and not all OS's have the <port 1024 rule. Arne > How can I get TomCat to run on port 80?

Edit server.xml and change port 8080 to 80 ... Arne > How can I get TomCat to run on port 80?

Ed! Dundonald, it is always the best to install apache und using tomcat via connector. Alternatively you can use iptable. Zsolt > How can I get TomCat to run on port 80?

I only use Resin, so I don't know for sure. you might do a grep on all the config files for 8080 (I assume thats the default Tomcat port).

There are some cases where that is a good idea. But I would say that there are also cases where it is just a completely unnecessary complexity.
