Changing Port 8080 to 80 using Tomcat

There are several ways to achieve this:

1. Open the server.xml of your Tomcat installation found in “FSI Serverconfigurationtomcatconf” with your text editor.

   Find the line:

   connector port=”8080″

   and change it to

   connector port=”80″

   Make sure you change the HTTP Connector and not the AJP Connector. Furthermore make sure, that the user that starts the Tomcat server has the right to bind to a port below 1024. This is important on linux systems.

2. When running Apache aside of Tomcat, you can add a virtualhost to the httpd.conf and add a AJP Connector module to it. (E.g. modproxy or modjk for Apache or isapi_redirect for IIS)
3. Use iptables for port forwarding
