I'm using the jsvc in the commons-daemon with a Tomcat user. Other than not having to deal with the jsvc, is there a reason to pick this over jsvc?

Thanks,

I had to set up a solution using IP tables on my redhat box. First some background as to why I solved it this way:

You can't run anything directly on port 80 without that process being executed as the root user... which -- for a variety of reasons I'm sure you needn't hear me go into -- is a Really Bad Idea. ;-)

What you want to do in this case is to reroute port 80 traffic to a port that tomcat can bind to when executed as a "normal" user.

Here's what I did to accomplish this (hopefully you've got iptables on your box, as well... tho the path of this script may be different on yr system... so check into both matters if this doesn't work for you):




/sbin/iptables -t nat -I PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080

You'll need root permissions to do this, tho.



Hope that helps,

I read that it has a stop method... but how do I get it to run at port 80 ?

apache drops to non root after bind to 80.
How can this be done w/ tc 5.5?
