Re: setting tomcat to listen on port 80
For 1), actually, last time I checked, the 'tomcat.sh' script in commons-daemon was still configured for TC 4.1.x ;-). There is a note in the docs telling you how to modify it to work with TC 5. The commons-daemon 'jsvc' program that Yoav is refering to in 1) below works perfectly fine with TC 4.1.x (since that's the version I'm using it for :). Shapira, Yoav [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote in message news:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Howdy, You shouldn't run tomcat, or any java program, or any server program open to the outside world, as root. However, only root can bind port 80 on unix. So you have some options: 1. Use tomcat 5.x which can run as a non-root user and still bind to port 80. 2. Use Apache httpd in front of tomcat, apache runs on port 80, tomcat on another port, and apache directs requests for servlets/jsps to tomcat. 3. Use some unix redirections e.g. ipchains to redirect port 80 requests to 8080, where tomcat is running as non-root. 4. Some other options are available, but those are probably the best.

Well, on Unixes ports under 1000 (or 1024?) are usually restricted to root. While most daemons are designed to be started by root but to run as some artificial user, tomcat as java application is not easy to set up this way. To me, putting a rough world proof proxy between tomcat and the world seems a good idea anyway for production systems. Although squid is the best known proxy, we and others use apache's proxy functions, e.g. ... ProxyPass/someapp/ http://localhost:8081/someapp/ ProxyPassReverse /someapp/ http://localhost:8081/someapp/ ... in the server configuration or a virtual host section of apache's configuration makes apache a perfect proxy for a Tomcat running with Coyote HTTP/1.1 connector. Besides not having to fight with the configuration and disadvantages of mod_jk/mod_wepapp, on can even use Apache to deliver static parts of the app, e.g. using this block: ProxyPass/someapp/Servlet http://localhost:8081/someapp/Servlet ProxyPassReverse /someapp/Servlet http://localhost:8081/someapp/Servlet Alias/someapp//somewhere/webapps/someapp/ This allows one to use all of Apache nice features, e.g. all those .htaccess things. To safely avoid access to the WEB-INF subdirectory, this is a good idea when using the above suggestion: DirectoryMatch WEB-INF Order allow,deny Deny from all /DirectoryMatch Using Apache/Tomcat this way, we reduced the open files, sockets and the processes on our production server by over 70 percent!
