Hola,

Tomcat standalone can run on port 80 without running as root by using
jsvc (from commons-daemon).  There are examples and more information on
this configuration at
http://jakarta.apache.org/tomcat/faq/security.html#jsvcExample.

You can configure Tomcat to have a Context whose docbase is
~/public_html/appdir but whose path is "" (the empty string, not null or
"/").

This is the deal breaker I think, for a commercial organization anyways.
While you can use PHP on Tomcat, the performance is apparently not good
enough for a large scale installation.  See
http://wiki.apache.org/jakarta-tomcat/UsingPhp for how to do this
anyways.

Actually, I meant a non-Linux platform.  But even your results so far
suggest an RHEL-specific issue.  Maybe try LD_ASSUME_KERNEL=2.2.5
instead of 2.4?  I remember people having success with that in the past.

The connectors are more important.  Recompiling Tomcat is not needed
IMHO, including not needed in the first place for RH 7.3 (you could have
just downloaded the binary).  But I'm not a Linux expert.
