You missunderstood something:
- There are two main kinds of ports:
- One that is used to talk HTTP.
That is the port that is seen be the outer world as
the webserver. The default port for a client application
(like a browser) for a web server is 80.
That means that http://localhost and http://localhost:80
are the same. If the webserver runs on a different port
you have to specify it explicitly. Tomcat can run as a
stand alone webserver but has a default of 8080 (somtimes 8180)
for the HTTPConnector.
- One port that is used when tomcat sits behind a webserver
(like apache or IIS) to do the communication between apache
and tomcat. In this case the webserver talks HTTP and it
depends completly on the configuration of apache which port
is used to talk HTTP.
- If you have apache on port 80 and enabled the HttpConnector
on port 8080 you serve through apache if you type http://localhost
or http://localhost:80 and serve through tomcat if you type
http://localhost:8080
- Which connector is used depends on the configuration in
httpd.conf. It is possible that you define different virtual hosts
where different hosts can have different connectors.
You only have make shure that the port is unique for each connector.
(Or to be more precise the combination of IP and port must be unique,
it also possible to use the same port, as long as the connectors
use different IP's)
- Yes if you use tomcat behind apache you can and should disable
the HttpConnector. But it's usefull to enable it if you have
troubles to find out if the problem lies in the connector or in
tomcat. (In fact several people recommend to start with tomcat
standalone and only start with the integration if tomcat runs
standalone)
