Bopana, You can have your Tomcat web server running on port 8080 but not a good idea since that port is normally used for the administration server.
Having said that however is also true that you can change the admin server port to whatever you want assuming you have the rights to do it and that it is free. Check your 'server.xml' file under '$TOMACAT/conf' and look for the string '<Service name="Catalina"'>'. Under it you should see another string like '<Connector...'; look for the 'port' parameter which should be '8080'; change it to whatever you would like. Restart the server and check the log files to make sure things are ok. Once you've changed the admin server to another port than '8080' you can now use it for serving your content on the web. --JM -----Original Message----- From: N.B.Bopanna [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 30 September 2003 07:06 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: tomcat port on the web Hi all, Is it nessasary to have default 80 port if tomcat is used as standalone server on the web or is it possible to put any port (say like 8080). How to configure tomcat 4.1.24 so that it can receive the http request when DNS name is typed in the browser? Any help is welcome.
