What can I do?
It realley depends if it's fine with you to run Tomcat as root
You have three possibilities:
- if you don't care about running Tomcat as root and don't already
have apache listening on port 80, change the port and start Tomcat as
root.
- if you prefer to run Tomcat as a non-priviled user (listening on
port 8080) and have apache, use mod_jk and configure tomcat and apache
accordingly (see doc on tomcat web site): your users will connect to
port 80
- if you prefer to run Tomcat as a non-priviliged user (listening on
port 8080) and you don't have apache, redirect requests made on port
80 to port 8080 using iptables.

And there's always option number 4 -- use jsvc from the commons-daemon
project to start tomcat safely as root and then drop root privilege for
normal operations. This will get you port 80 without the inherent risks
of running a process as root. Tomcat's bin directory has an archive of
the jsvc source for building and there are binaries for some platforms
on the website:
