running tomcat on port 80 instead of port 8080

Hello,

Sorry if this is a FAQ but how can I run Jakarta Tomcat on port 80 rather 
than on port 8080? I guess all I have to do is change 
$CATALINA_HOME/conf/server.xml so that instead of:

    <!-- Define a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->
    <Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
               port="8080" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
               enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
               acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"

the following appears instead:

    <!-- Define a non-SSL Coyote HTTP/1.1 Connector on port 8080 -->
    <Connector className="org.apache.coyote.tomcat4.CoyoteConnector"
               port="80" minProcessors="5" maxProcessors="75"
               enableLookups="true" redirectPort="8443"
               acceptCount="100" debug="0" connectionTimeout="20000"

and restart the server. Is this correct?

Thanks,

Neil

Try it and see what happens. (meaning yes, that should work)

Re: running tomcat on port 80 instead of port 8080

On Linux to run Tomcat Standalone on port 80, without using ROOT 
permissions(simple user)
U can use iptables to redirect 8080 to 80 and 8443 to 443.

without iptables, apache can do the job as necessary, but iptables is 
very simple.

Yes, that should work. However if you are running on linux, a normal
user cannot bind to ports below ~1000, you have to be root to do that.
Is it possible to bind Tomcat to port 80 without running the JVM as
root?
