No need to reinstall. The only thing you should keep in mind is to
have both dspace and tomcat owned and run as the same user. You don't
even need to bind a low port, so it should be a non-issue.

I would, however, heartily recommend you to upgrade to the latest and
greatest DSpace when 5.1 comes out (soon). I'd recommend to start a
new OS install from scratch and upgrade the dependencies (postgres,
maven, ant, tomcat and java) as per DSpace 5 requirements. You can
import the old DB and copy in the assetstore and DSpace 5 will happily
do most of the (DB and Solr, if you use it) migration steps for you,
be it from 1.8 or 3. Upon any upgrade, make sure you start with a
fresh configuration directory and make your changes to it, don't
overwrite newer configuration with your older one.
