Allen, you ask "isn't that what the connector is supposed to do", but the connector is in Tomcat, not in your web server. It is the web server software that is monitoring port 80, and that is where your browser sends requests to by default, so the request must get past the web server first. To do that you need to tell the web server where to send them, namely to your Tomcat port. I think this accounts for the behaviour you told about, namely that Tomcat responds fine when you specify the port number in your URL.

I will read through the link you provide but isn't that what the connector is supposed to do. My understanding what that the Apache HTTP server would detect what the request was (Java or not) and pass it on to Tomcat. Is this not what the specification of /portal/* ajp13 in the configuration does. This is what I got from the document at: http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jk2/jk.quickhowto.html Here is a little from one of the pages in that area... ( http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/tomcat-4.1-doc/jk2/jk/aphowto.html ) In a nutshell a web server is waiting for client HTTP requests. When these requests arrive the server does whatever is needed to serve the requests by providing the necessary content. Adding a servlet container may somewhat change this behavior. Now the web server needs also to perform the following: Load the servlet container adapter library and initialize it (prior to serving requests). When a request arrives, it needs to check and see if a certain request belongs to a servlet, if so it needs to let the adapter take the request and handle it. The adapter on the other hand needs to know what requests it is going to serve, usually based on some pattern in the request URL, and to where to direct these requests. Is this not correct...or am I misunderstanding it -----Original Message----- From: Bill Bruns [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, April 07, 2004 12:26 PM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: RE: Connecting the HTTP Server and Tomcat Allen, do you have the web server configured to throw the requests over to Tomcat? In other words, have either Proxy support or else URL Rewriting turned on in the web server? Otherwise your HTTP requests default to port 80, so they will be eaten by the web server and never reach Tomcat, since Tomcat is listening on ports that the HTTP requests do not come to by default.
