Hummm. I'm not running Apache as root (its running as "nobody"). It responds on port 80. I'm starting it with apachectl.
Its generally a better idea to run Apache in front of tomcat for performance reasons. Tomcat is actually pretty slow on the scale of things, where Apache is actually pretty fast (especially 2.xx). If you let it handle the requests and forward them where appropriate you'll be a lot better off. Especially for images. -Andy Bruno Dumon wrote: >On Thu, 2002-07-04 at 21:09, Thomas Garger wrote: > > >>but if i don't start tomcat as root, i can not run it under >>the port 80 - because only the root user has access rights >>to to ports below 1024. >> >>am i wrong?? >> >> > >no, that's right. > > > >>or can i configure my linux system, that a "normal-user" (no root) >>van start tomcat under the port 90? >> >> > >Not that I know. > >Usually Apache is put in front of tomcat (using mod_jk to connect the >two). > >Apache, being a native application, can start as root (so it can bind to >port 80), and change the user id of the processes that handle the >requests to another user. > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please check that your question has not already been answered in the FAQ before posting. <http://xml.apache.org/cocoon/faq/index.html> To unsubscribe, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
