Re: website hosting
Just to add my two cents to this -- you can use jsvc from the commons-daemon project to start Tomcat with root long enough to get port 80 and then drop root for normal run. Running Apache in front of Tomcat adds an extra layer of complexity and more processing. Take a look at what you need and if the extra layer is really worth it before putting up Apache in front of Tomcat. For a site that's mostly dynamic and lots of decision making, just use Tomcat w/ jsvc and drop Apache altogether. --David Lutz Zetzsche wrote: Hi Tomislav, Am Sonntag, 15.

If you would configure to listen to port 80 instead of port 8080, you would need to run Tomcat as root because ports below 1024 require root privileges. Considering the OP mentioned IIS in his post I think it is safe to assume that he is running Tomcat on Windows so you don't need root privileges to open port 80, although Windows Services are run under LocalSystem by default so I recommend changing that to a more locked down user. Unless you have a specialized need there really isn't much reason to put Tomcat behind Apache with mod_jk, there used to be good reason for serving static content but with the Coyote connector Tomcat can keep pace with Tomcat fairly well and even outpace it in some areas. The added configuration and maintenace it introduces isn't worth it unless you need it and if you do need it then you're going to know it before asking.

website hosting
Hi I need to host a website using the tomcat Webserver How do I configure the tomcat for the default port 80 for answering the http request for the ip address in the net I had already done it using (Microsoft) IIS.
Re: website hosting
Go to the directory where Tomcat is installed. Under the Tomcat directory there will be a "conf" sub-directory. In the "conf" directory there will be a "server.xml" file. In the "server.xml" file you can configure many aspects of Tomcat, including the port on which Tomcat listens. * Barry KimelmanToronto, Ontario, Canada ---Original Message--- From: suri.jagadish Date: 05/14/05 11:06:30 To: tomcat-user@jakarta.apache.org Subject: website hosting Hi I need to host a website using the tomcat Webserver How do I configure the tomcat for the default port80 for answering the http request for the ip address in the net I had already done it using (Microsoft) IIS.

If you would configure to listen to port 80 instead of port 8080, you would need to run Tomcat as root because ports below 1024 require root privileges. There are several ways to achieve, that Tomcat can be reached on port 80 from outside although it is running on port 8080 locally. The way which I prefer is to setup a rule in the firewall of the machine redirecting incoming request for port 80 to port 8080.
