I have recently installed Tomcat 3.3.1 along with Apache. The two are
working well together, and I have no complaints except that my Apache
pages all have the xxx.mydomain.org/ structure while my Tomcat pages are
isolated and appear under the xxx.mydomain.org:8080/ structure. Is
there a way to get Tomcat to respond to port 80 requests or some other
mechanism for removing the port number from appearing to users???
Thanks,
Brian

Hello Brian, the port 80 that apache uses is a tcp socket that apache "listens" to. the same w/ tomcat. apache has directives to define the ports it "listens" to for different schemes: (http, https). typically, apache does not display port "80" in the url because apache is a web or http static content server so the default port 80 is not required to be displayed. and, port 80 is a so-called priviledged port on 'nix systems (< 1023). when apache fires up it does so as "root" or the super-user allowing use of port 80 but forks a new child process for the actual http request/resonse processing. also, when apache executes cgi-bin it can hide some of the url to execute cgi-programs by using apache alias or scriptalias directives. tomcat is not a static http web server but is a dynamic content servlet/jsp server (and other objects) and therefore needs to listen to the non-standard port of: "8080". this port can be redefined to be any non-priviledged port (> 1023). displaying port numbers in the url r not a problem if u restrict who sees the urls. as a suggestion u can authenticate ur users through encryption, user/password logins using ssl or read this about url obfuscation: http://www.n3dst4.com/articles/urlobfus . thanx, david.
