The O.P didn't say whether the site is running Tomcat behind HTTPD. If not, then changing the port would require reconfiguring the affected Connector element in Tomcat's server.xml, changing the 'port="8080" to 'port="80"' (and 'redirectPort="8443"' to 'redirectPort="443"'). If SSL is to be used, another Connector will need 'port="8443"' changed to 'port="443"'. On a Unix system, these changes would require that Tomcat be started as a privileged user in order to have access to those low-numbered ports. I don't know how the O.P.'s Windows server environment affects that. On Unix there is a 'jsvc' wrapper which can be used to invoke Tomcat's startup methods as root (which will open the listening sockets), get control back, change UID to something less privileged, and invoke Tomcat's main loop, so that the service actually runs with less privilege but still can open listening sockets on privileged ports. If there is a need to do this on Windows, there is probably a way to do it, but again I don't run Tomcat on Windows and can't give specific advice there. -- Mark H.
