Hi there,
Thank you for reporting bugs and trying to make Ubuntu better.
Given that it is a known fact that non-root services cannot run in port
higher than 1024, and not being a real issue and rather a usability bug,
I believe that this bug report doesn't really affect the functioning of
Hi Abhinav
You should have received a warning from the tomcat6-create-instance
command when using ports below 1024 (see output below):
ubuntu@ip-172-19-1-2:~$ tomcat6-instance-create -p 1000 -c 8005 tomcat
You are about to create a Tomcat instance in directory 'tomcat'
Warning: ports below 1024
Sorry, running tomcat6-instance-create as root, solved the issue. But I
believe, it should have displayed an error that I need to run the server
as root in order to bind to a port less than 1024, rather than stupidly
say server started.

Changed the bug report. It should at least give a warning before
starting the server, that without root privileges it won't be able to
serve pages. (Running server as root is not such a good idea, but in
case someone wants to ).
** Description changed:
Binary package hint: tomcat6
