Henry, It is also possible to run Tomcat on port 80, rather than port 8080.
To run Tomcat on port 80 in Linux, you'd have to do the following: (1) Change its port from 8080 to 80 in [tomcat]/conf/server.xml (2) Compile the 'jsvc' tool that comes with Tomcat, and start Tomcat using 'jsvc'. You need to start Tomcat using 'jsvc' because on Linux port 80 is a privileged port (only root can open it). Here's a good reference on running Tomcat on port 80: http://www.klawitter.de/tomcat80.html (it says it's for Tomcat 5.x, but it should also work for Tomcat 6.x) Also, look at the Tomcat Setup Docs for more information on compiling and using the 'jsvc' tool, which allows you to use port 80 on Linux: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/setup.html#Unix%20daemon It's also possible to setup an Apache web server on port 80, and have it forward to your Tomcat on port 8080 (using mod_jk or similar). There are more notes on that setup on the following DSpace wiki pages: http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/DspaceOnStandardPorts http://wiki.dspace.org/index.php/ModJk Good luck!
