I also got Tomcat to listen on port 80 by changing the port number in Server.xml. My problem is I can only browse from the local (server) machine. If I point my browser on another machine on the same network to the server's ip address I get no response (I think that was what happened; I can't test it now to recall exactly what happens...)
I'm guessing this is a unix thing, but am not sure.
