Hello

I have to run Tomcat standalone as user e.g tomcat (non-root) on port 443.
But the server doesn't start (not able to bind port 443).
With 8443 everything works fine.

Why can't tomcat do that like apache ?

Because Java wasn't designed to allow that.
There are solutions which are being worked on, such as the commons-daemon project. Tomcat 5 is designed to take advantage of commons-daemon, so it allows running a low port without root.
See the docs:
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-5.0-doc/setup.html


Thanks for hints or help.

I'm running Version 4.1.27 on SuSE 8.2 with SUN Java 2 Standard Edition (build
1.4.1_02-b06)
