If not, then changing the port would require reconfiguring the affected Connector element in Tomcat's server.xml, changing the 'port="8080" to 'port="80"' (and 'redirectPort="8443"' to 'redirectPort="443"'). If SSL is to be used, another Connector will need 'port="8443"' changed to 'port="443"'. On a Unix system, these changes would require that Tomcat be started as a privileged user in order to have access to those low-numbered ports. I don't know how the O.P.'s Windows server environment affects that. On Unix there is a 'jsvc' wrapper which can be used to invoke Tomcat's startup methods as root (which will open the listening sockets), get control back, change UID to something less privileged, and invoke Tomcat's main loop, so that the service actually runs with less privilege but still can open listening sockets on privileged ports. If there is a need to do this on Windows, there is probably a way to do it, but again I don't run Tomcat on Windows and can't give specific advice there. -- Mark H.

Re: [Dspace-tech] Changing default url
Hi Jewel The other consideration relates to the port 8080 part of your URL. If you want to get rid of this then you need to have your Apache HTTPD server use something like mod_proxy_ajp to redirect (configurably) port 80 requests to port 8080 (I think that's what it does in my simple terms - hey, I'm no sys admin). A sample setup would be (in $APACHE_HTTPD_HOME/conf.d/proxy_ajp.conf): LoadModule proxy_ajp_module modules/mod_proxy_ajp.so ProxyPass /things/you/don't/want/redirected! ProxyPass / ajp://localhost:8009/ ProxyPassReverse/ ajp://localhost:8009/ (8009 is the AJP connector port). The other thing we do slightly differently is redirect tomcat's ROOT webapp to dspace using a symlink: ln -s /tomcat/home/webapps/ROOT /your/dspace/installation/webapps/jspui Obviously, replace "jspui" with "xmlui" if you are using the manakin interface. I hope this is of some assistance.

You'll also have to change how you deploy the jspui webapp in tomcat. Instead of copying the jspui directory into [tomcat]/webapps/ you'll need to copy it, but also rename it to ROOT. There will probably be a ROOT webapp there that you'll have to remove or rename first. (this is the default 'welcome to tomcat' screen that you see if you go to http://www.mydomain.com/ at present). The ROOT webapp is what actually appears at the root of your web site. Other webapps then appear relative to the root at that webapp name.
